I too am fan of spatiality and Tracker is actually close
already to what I want for non-boot desktop folders.
Three problems left to solve:
1. They're hidden
2. They open with tab and borders off-screen
3. They don't use the view mode of the desktop
(I get list view mode here!)
S1. Show them.
S2. Move/resize a desktop window to fit on-screen.
(They already have scrollbars, so it'll work fine
and it won't affect subsequent reboots to that
other volume, from what I can tell.)
S3. Use the right view mode.
(And disallow view mode(s) not available to desktops,
like list view mode currently.)
This should make other-volume's desktop windows perfectly
usable and recognizable. No/few spatial qualities lost.
I'd even be okay with showing ~/Desktop too, and having it
do a "Hide All" on all applications, to reveal the desktop,
when opening ~/Desktop from Tracker.
