So I am new to linux (Ubuntu 9.10). I love the workspace feature,
where I can have two sessions running simultaneously. However I notice
that stuff keeps leaking from one workspace into the other. For
example, if I start Firefox in workspace 1 then quickly switch to
workspace 2, then Firefox actually opens in workspace 2. How can I
make the workspaces totally separate, with no communications between
them - as if they are running on different computers?

when you find out., let me know :-)

Devil's Pie. It's in the Ubuntu repositories.
