Usally I organize them in some way. Even if they are 50 tabs they usually spread over several windows - say one workspace with java SDK dock for some taks, on gtk docs for another. The bugzilla bugs may be spread over several desktops as well (on one I provide info for bug I found marked NEEDINFO and on second I fix one that occurs in package I maintain). > > It may be substitute to workspaces+windows though but still there is a > > difference: > > > > - Workspaces usually have up to 3 windows of the same application at > > which point it IMHO breaks under the complexity of managing (ideally 3 > > windows at all) with no particular order > > - Tabs usually have >5 tabs usually organised by some means.

It means that there are 4 websites involved but only 1 task. On the other hand the blog post about say algorithm I want to implement and the blog post about lolcats meme would go on separate workspaces even if they are on the same blog. I think that (which I states several times) thinking in terms of apps/websites is an error and instead we should come back to documents/tasks. I use the same application over several desktops and 'normal users' don't even know what application is. Regards
