Re: Workspace confusion

Why does it do this?


Because it's defined to. :-P

Or rather how do I get it NOT to behave in this manner. To open in the
window I started it in and not pull the others into that workspace?


[my-prompt]$ gedit --new-window mydocument.txt


To get Nautilus to open text (or whatever) documents in a new Window by
default, configure that in Nautilus (by telling it to run the above
command), not in gedit. Other apps with which you experience this
behaviour may or may not (but probably will) have an analogous command
line option. Something like

[my-prompt]$ myapplication --help

will usually tell you if this is the case.
