the only few I can think of are some that you really want 1 instance of:
* mail application (evolution)
Add the RSS reader (but this kind of content is very similar to email).
* IM (pidgin, skype, xchat, etc)
* Media player (rhythmbox, banshee)
I also like to have only one browser window, but I guess this is where
taste starts to matter.
I tend to have one browser window per workspace, as I'm organizing my
work in the "one activity per workspace" fashion (which fits gnome-shell
pretty closely right now, and which I hope it won't change).
I end up with such a layout:
workspace 1:
- email, xchat, IM buddy list and dialogues
- web browser with pages like online rss reader
workspace 2..n:
- central activity
- IDE or terminal instances for hacking/webadmin/etc
- openoffice windows for redaction
- nautilus spatial mode instances
- etc.
- eventual browser window for topic-centered documentation:
- how to do this and that
- API docs
- etc.
- eventual IM windows to colleagues about the activity.
In such an activity-centered use of applications/workspaces, not being
able to put windowsof the same app accross workspaces is clearly a bad
thing.
Note that currently, things like alt-tab or overview window show all the
applications for all the workspaces, but there is also a clear
distinction of what's on the current workspace vs what's on other ones:
- alt-tab has a separator between apps which have a window on the
current workspace and other apps
- application's window list has a separator between windows on the
current workspace and other windows.
