I'm with you, it is frustrating to always have to go find which
desktop your conversation ended up on in an IM client for instance.
It would be nice if kwin had an option like "lock all related
windows to desktop" or something like that.  I am off to research
kstart though, might be something in there of use for a few of my
problems.

There is no such thing as a casual knowledge of xslt, either 
you know everything about it or you are sitting in the creek.
