Yes I remember.
I tried that in the past and windows show a state
change to minimized if the user changes work spaces.
*BUT*, they return to normal when the user returns to
the parent work space. I should be able to work with that.

Thanks for the reminder.

Now that I think about it, minimizing windows
in non-active work spaces is a good way to tell
them that they should assume an idle state.
