Robert,

That is what we have inherited from Gnome2, but it doesn't need to be the
case anymore. A workspace may be simply a group of windows that appear
together in the same space; some may consist of two windows and some of
five, in which case it would make sense that their representation in the
sidebar reflected this nature.

Just for reference, I was thinking of showing the same thumbnails that now
appear when you press down during the Alt+tab switcher.
