I also have a suggestion relating to size/position.  This was brought up
before and I'm kicking myself for not saying anything.  Now may be a case of
too little to late... but here goes.

I am an avid user of VirtSpace.  Couldn't get my work done without it.
However, one problem that I find is that applications that save their
positioning on exit have problems.  Virtspace moves all windows back to the
home frame on exit.  Applications like Mail/PencilMeIn/OmniWeb end up saving
their last positions in wierd places.  Thus, when I start the application, I
ahve to drag windows back to their original positions.

However, applications that have a "save potitions" button, or a set of
default startup positions that don't get changed on application exit (emacs
for instance) always work flawlessly. Is it too late to add a default "start
position" that doesn't get rewritten each time the app closes?
