Thanks for the tip; but its not quite what I want. I don't want
applications to start up on any given desktop or page. I want them to
be able to start up anywhere; and I want them never to be able to
steal my focus or my viewspace. It may be that what I want is
impossible though, so this is a good back up solution. Thanks
