(What I want is that when I ask an application via menu to open a new

my hit rate with Apple bug reports so far is 0/3. Feh.)

The defaults seting trick seems to have given me that.

I get that I no longer get auto-flipped to the application's desktop, but the application still opens its windows there.
Only if you specifically told it to.

Except that I didn't tell it to. The only special application setting I have for Spaces is that Adium shows up on all desktops.

It's also not especially consistent, even within applications. For example, if I open a new Terminal it shows up on the current Space. If I select File > New Command... (or New Command... from the Dock icon) the *dialog* opens wherever I first launched Terminal (which was really confusing the first time I did it after applying the no-auto-flip thing, as I didn't know what happened to the dialog until I went to the Spaces overview and saw the dialog in a different Space). As another example, if I open a new Safari window directly it shows up on the current Space, but if a program opens one (say, clicking a link in Mail.app) it sometimes opens on the current Space and sometimes (!) on the Space where I first opened Safari.

I second the thing about mail.app btw, definitely gets annoying with multiple addresses.

The odd thing is that it usually works (or did in Tiger, at least; only recently started using Leopard as my main environment).
