I know precisely what you mean. Spaces seems mostly about segregating applications, but there are many applications (Web browsers, chat clients, etc.) whose windows can and should exist independently on separate desktops. If you click a link in an app in Space 1, the resulting page opens in whatever Space your browser is currently using instead of creating a new window in the current Space.
The two that annoy me most are Acrobat and the finder. The thing is, to me OSX's grouping of the windows associated with an application is by far the single most significant aspect of the UI that makes it so much easier to use than Windows. I guess that aspect does occasionally get annoying, especially with Spaces. To me, what would fix it is if Spaces were really just a bigger desktop, instead of trying to switch desktops. I liked CodeTek's Virtual Desktop, but it didn't work as well with applications. I suspect that spaces odd behavior is part of making it work with everything better.
