This is a darn cool idea. The only caveat is that I've noticed that if you
set a name, it sets the title in the title bar to "workspace1". Since I use a
bash prompt (at home - it doesn't seem to work with the xterm implementation
on Solaris here at work) that changes the titlebar to say my current
directory, you'll have to make sure that changing the title doesn't change the
name and screw up your stuff.
And of course while this helps xterm (and probably rxvt as well), it doesn't
do anything if there is some other application that I want to start up
multiple instances in different workspaces. Not that I can think of any such
application right now, but it's something to think about.
