Yep, it appears to work for gnome-terminal and banshee. Not working for Nautilus or Evolution (but opening nautilus and evolution windows always seems odd if you already have an instance open). It doesn't work for DbVisualizer (Java app) or LibreOffice apps. ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list

But some non-GTK apps don't support this for some reason, and there's a bug open for that in Bugzilla.

Huh. Should that work? I'm in the activity view, so I see the tiled apps of the current workstation, the left hand applications bar [what is the official name of that thing] and on the right hand the tiled workspaces. I grab an app and drag it to a workspace and it opens [starts] in the current workspace. Is that incorrect [something isn't working] or am I misunderstanding the above?
