That seems to be a sweet option. I think that the auto workspace
management is not a suit everybody solution. It seems slick for people
not used to workspaces, however *I* think that people accustomed to them
will have a hard time with the auto collection "shiftness".

Again sounds good, even though I think that just preserving all the
workspaces but the trailing ones (as it is now) is a good replacement
for old styled users :)

Is there other feedback on this? I really have no idea whether it is me
and you or the new behaviour is critical also for other users.
