Gah. Know the problem. Can't help. With WindowMaker it's even better.
However many workspaces I closed the session with, I get one when I
restart it and everything clustered onto that one workspace.

How are you trying to cut and paste? Apologies if this is teaching
grandmothers to suck eggs, but are you familiar with how cut and
paste works in X? I gather it's somewhat different from how Windows
does it. And what are you trying to cut and paste between?
