Thanks.  Wait until you see it in lingerie :-)

Yeah I now about this.  Originally sanders was using Wnck to catch
active-workspace-changed, which appeared to be having some problems.  I
have submitted a patch to mutter so we can get a signal direct from the
window manager.  This appears to have fixed my problems.  Once we get
that committed to mutter git I will push my updates to use it to my git
repository.

yes there is definitely polish to put on it.  I am just working by
myself and want to focus on the core of the technology and the
gnome-shell integration.  Once everything is working, I will make it
look pretty.
