Ah. I see what you are saying. Instead of starting multiple instances of
Fx, you are simply starting new Fx windows & then moving those FX
windows to other desktops. And from the other workspace Fx window you
can open other 'new windows' etc., on that workspace. Yep, that works &
probably uses less cpu & memory than opening multiple instances of Fx
w/'-noremote' (haven't tested).
