SURPRISE - I just got it to work by taking the working info.plist (for the other application) and editing it to the entries I needed.

MORE SURPRISE - taking my original plist and editing it to those same entries - does not work properly!!!

Maybe there are some UNIX or other flags which need setting? Where do we look to see how to make applications behave in Spaces???

A new or even just different application might update Launch Services database correctly where the failing one doesn't. Pretty much as has already been indicated. One Info.plist isn't necessarily better or worse than another, there is no entry in the plist that is the key to success. It is a matter of whether the Launch Services database ends up with inaccurate information for any applications. There are ways to try to force the database to update after it ends up incomplete as have been mentioned. The only other possibility, if you can manage it, is to try and put the application together in a way that it doesn't throw off LS. For example I used to find that manually editing the Info.plist file with the "Property List Editor" application tended to mess up LS, while updating it with file i/o would not.
