Thanks Dominik (and Glen). Your suggestions have helped me get exactly
the desktop setup I need. I have now put the Pause button to work for
a change, to do my scrolling (ScrlLk locks my screen, now to find
something for the prtscn key to do :)

Now to get *really* picky :)
After thinking about it a little more, I realized that what I would
really like is the ability to make an app sticky across desktops, but
not within a desktop. For instance, I start Mutt in the same page
usually, and I like to keep it there. I would like to have it there
regardless of the desktop I move to.

I know I'm probably asking too much, but I thought I'd clarify just in
case someone has an idea.

Thanks again!
