Proper terminology would help. Let's try this. The Op is talking about
the "panner" So - to correctly state what the Op is trying to say is
simply this:

In may "panner", I have several "workspaces". That being said, how can
I have say, a Firefox icon in workspace1 yet not have it show up in any
other workspaces. 

This would also be true if I wish to have the Xchat icon in
workspace2 but not show up in workspace1

This is probably what the Op is trying to say.
