I did not bother to boot my OSX work laptop, and my android phone is a highly tweakable modified version, so I cannot speak for other systems, I suspect you are mostly right there.

I just need to tweak the theme to save some vertical space in the title bar and it looks fine to me. > > Is there a way, to have apps be autostarted somehow and be stoved in > > some specific "workspace"?

Oh, that would be nifty, "autostart firefox and start it on Worspace 2 on the right monitor". Or even a simple, "put it where it was during the last run" :-).
