I think/hope i dont  misinterpret what workspaces are about, i used them 
extensive
on BeOS and Linux.

But i think we have an "System-side" view but not the "user-side" one.

So why not expand this common konzept. (being innovative :-D)
I think this could be the easier way for the user to set up their 
external Monitors.

For me, as i used to multimedia stuff (rundumvideo and so on :))
it would helped me so much, if i could have such a system...
eg.: Running my presentation on a external Monitor wich "acts" like a 
workspace
 and switch to "clone" mode with simply changing the workspace on my 
main Monitor, without affecting the Presentation.
Or even better...running 4 different Videos on four different Screens by 
simply draggin them to workspace 2,3,4,5 :)

just thoughts :) in verry bad english :)
