Hi Peter,

just tested this on my Linux (ubuntu 6.06 xfce, kernel 2.6.15-29-386) 
and it looks like it is working. E.g. I open Rev beta dp-4 and it loads 
in the 2nd desktop, then I opened Rev dictionary and send it to 3 
desktop, created new stack and sent it to the 4th workspace. Then 
searched the dictionary, went to 2 workspace to check if IDE is still 
there, then went to the 4th and closed the stack. It works so far 
without collapsing to a single workspace. Maybe there are some desktop 
settings to explore, although I used all defaults...

All the best
Viktoras
