I understand the concept, but still do not see the benefits over having
either a text file or a "shortcut" to one on the desktop.  Yes, stuff like
this seems to be a cool thing;  I just currently cannot see any really good 
usage ideas that would stem from it.

This is the case with my emacs virtual desktop.

Sorry, I do not follow what you are saying here.

Keep in mind, I am not saying this is necessarily a bad idea.  I am just
wondering about the praticality/usefulness of this.
