When the scratchpad is open is there a way to get the 'active' frame of
the underlying workspace? If so then writing a script to cause windows not
to open in the scratchpad could easily be written, though getting it to
only not allow that for windows launched from the file manager requires
the fdo startup spec stuff. (A module for which I have started looking
into, for whatever that's worth.)
