Please excuse my ignorance here.  Are you saying that an application
as a whole (i.e. all of its windows) exists on only one workspace?
Like the very broken way workspaces behave on OS X?

Well...I don't want to dive into design, more note that the possibility exists to improve things given that we have two fundamental improvements in having application tracking, and fixing the split between UI and WM.
