The Mountain Lion, Elementary Pantheon, and Cinnamon currently provide the most comfortable ways to work with workspace management. Main goals are easy reorganizing of the workspaces you currently have like opening of the app on the desired workspace, easily rearranging of apps between the workspaces, rearrangement of workspaces themselves, easy way to add/remove more workspaces.
Nice feature of Mountain Lion is that you can make the full-screen app behave as separate workspace and keep the ability to switch from it to another workspace back and forth. I believe, that's almost everything which is really required from workspace functionality. In other words you never know how much workspaces you really need, despite the point people might have habits for example of placing messengers to one workspace, another keeping for browsing, another one for development, some for writing documentation and so on - that's not working for the end user. I'd suggest copying the behavior of the workspace management from the resources mentioned in the beginning of my comment, as it seems to be really user-friendly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1027949 Title: Improve workspace functionality under Unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/1027949/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
