Well, see, it *does* do this for every program that I've used except
X11...  I think that non-Apple window managers don't register their
windows "properly" with the OSX GUI, and so they don't show up as being
on the proper desktop (although the warp-to-desktop stuff when I shift-
click on the X icon works just fine).  I think the general case is
working, although I don't use OSX programs much at all - so if it is a
problem for others, I'll concede that I don't really use my box as much
more than a glorified X terminal.  :-)

Consider it done.  :-)
