This is a minor irritation, at least afaik: I'd fix it if I could AND saw an easy way to.
I live by the Fedora workspace switcher -- probably the most valuable applet I have, because it's so easy to set and forget. I have canonical spaces for my terminal (with several tabs, my other most used applet), my default browser (one that can handle long URLs, meaning Firefox or Seamonkey unless I'm missing a good third one), one other (varying) browser, my newsreader (All hail Pan!), and a space right below it for writing posts. There are also several usually free spaces scattered among those, so that I can bring up anything else conveniently, and see the canonicals out of the corner of my eye.
I also upgrade every day, and reboot whenever there's a kernel change. I suppose I should close the canonical applets, but I often don't. Then when the reboot finishes, they all show up on the upper left space, and I have to rearrange them. IFF, and I do mean only if, it would be easy to make them launch where they were before, that would make the workspace switcher even more valuable.

There is some extension for setting which desktop an application will open on. I don't know the name off-hand.

This sort of thing is called session management in KDE, but I've no idea if Gnome follows that terminology.

I should've thought to mention that I run Mate.

OK. When you said "the Fedora workspace switcher" I assumed Gnome as the default (though not what I use myself).
