As far as I'm concerned, I'm very happy the way it works...
w8 I only have 8 workspaces the same size =)

Someone of the appkit team here ?
Btw what would be nice about BRoster, is to add a bool flag to the 
B_OPEN_IN_WORKSPACE message "dontswitch", so we can open an app silently in 
another workspace (either from Workspaces <wsnumber> <app> <args>, or dropping 
a file on one of the rects in Workspaces), without having it switch, so it 
doesn't disturb.

Gnight all !
François.
