workspaces-auto-swoosh = NO really does seem to help a lot here.

As Michael Cowlishaw would say, Spaces has a high astonishment factor.

What I'm currently seeing is that it's not so much Spaces as Spaces plus
X11. I've filed three or four bugs today against X11 behavior under
Spaces, and I don't see any of those misbehaviors for other apps under
Spaces.

Yeah, that's because of... well... everyone else gets to use cocoa windows that are an abstraction layer above spaces... we have to figure out how to interact with spaces at a lower level... so some of the private API we are using don't quite work as expected and we need to either get those API updated or figure out what extra calls to make, flags to set, etc...


Please be patient. As I'm sure you've noticed things are getting better. Small esoteric issues with spaces are better than completely non-functional spaces/X11 interaction. =/

Thanks for your reports. I was actually not aware of these issues until this weekend, so I'm glad they can now be addressed.
