IMHO that is not very consistent to the user. If Workspaces is placed in one 
postion it would be confusing to have it anyware else on another screen. It 
would be better to scale the app to match the resolution, giving the same 
apperance on all screens, even though it presents less information in low 
resolutions.

If the window gets to small in a low res the user only needs to resize it to 
work in their lowest res. As a bonus they get better detail in high res screens.
