That's not quite what I'm trying to accomplish. When I shut down the machine for the day I want to exit all apps.I currently get pretty much that. If an application has modified a file but not saved it, I'm prompted for instructions.
What I would like would be to have differing sets of applications available in each workspace.
Currently all workspaces have icons to access *_identical sets_* of applications.
I wish each workspace to have a set of tools applicable for a specific project.
For example:Workspace 1 devoted to programming would have a programmer's text editor, compile/link/load utilities, and an IDE. Workspace 2 devoted to a dissertation on Mesopotamian Architecture would have a word processor, note taking software, an outlining utility, and a link to a browser to bring up the university's online catalog.
Workspace 3 devoted to a fishing blog would have web authoring tools.
