It would allow me to do something similar, but it quickly becomes
cumbersome to remember where things are, it's difficult to set up,
since, if I want to have it sorted by task, I sometimes have to
rearrange everything, which can take a very long time. Not having
workspaces in two dimensions really takes the fun out of using them.
