Grouping of application instances on different workspaces

[Tomasz Sterna <tomek xiaoka com>]

Hi.

As I understand workspaces are to be used to group windows related to
single or similar task/s. (At least this is how I use them. :-)

I have an issue that the application window grouping interfere with
this.

Let's say I have two tasks in progress - first on Workspace 1 and second
task on Workspace 2. Both tasks use one terminal window to do some misc
stuff. One terminal window resides on Workspace 1 and second window
resides on Workspace 2.

Currently the Alt-Tab window switcher merges both terminal windows in
one icon, assigned to the workspace space of the workspace I used the
terminal emulator last.
Then if I want to switch from say a Browser window to the terminal
window on the same workspace, but I last used the terminal window on the
other workspace, selecting the terminal icon with Alt-Tab changes to the
Workspace 2, and then I can be back to the terminal I want with Alt-`

Wouldn't it be more useful to group windows of only one Workspace? I
separated them on different Workspaces for a reason.
