[xmonad] Windows staying put on their workspace

[Jevin Maltais]

Hi gang,

I was wondering if it's possible to do the following things:

1) I'm finding that windows are popping up on my current workspace
when they were generated by a window in a different workspace.  These
are very distracting.  I'd like them to stay over there.

2) Right now, if I launch a big application (say, amarok or
openoffice) on a workspace and change workspaces the window will pop
up on the second workspace I am at now.  Instead, I'd like to launch
the application on it's own workspace, then go to a different
workspace to do some work then come back after it's launched.

Cheers!
Jevin
