I run more applications than just konqueror ...

But then you have to remember which windows are associated to which 
task. As I said I reguraly have 3-4 software tasks ongoing, each with 
many different windows.

Placing all windows associated each task means I know when I go to that 
workspace, the panel only shows me the windows for that task (because I 
have told it not to group windows from all workspaces). Very convenient.

I know I'm presuming here, so on dangerous ground, but I feel you simply 
don't have as many open windows at once as me. If you did then a single 
workspace becomes really unmanageable.

Workspaces aren't a new idea, they have been around for years. As long 
as I;ve been using UNIX ...

Nope. I don't 'do' facebook either... ;)
