I tend to open terminal windows willy nilly since I do a lot of sysadmining stuff so I like to keep state on whatever other work I'm doing in other windows. What makes it hard is that I do that in whatever workspace I'm in and then try to move it to another workspace. Now I do what you do for the most part.

Never found a use for it. I tend to keep those fixed once they are set. Of course if there are workspace on demand then you really don't need it. There needs to be a little adjustment in the sensitivity of workspace switching in linear mode. It makes moving windows to other workspaces a big pain. (bug filed) sri
