Hi, I had an idea which I would like to post. Not sure if this is the right place but I don't see anywhere else. Where you can run wine as a window. "Emulate Virtual Desktop", would it be possible to set a workspace up as a virtual desktop? I am interested to know what other people think, am I the only one who would like this or do other peopel thin its a good idea too? Also I a not sure how hard it would be to do, maybe there is a simple tweak or maybe it needs a lot of changes to the source. Anyway a quick mockup is below.

Making it a workspace would defeat that purpose (or require much tighter integration with the wm, which would be hard to make work across wm's). -- -Austin
