  When you start an application, which workspace it opens in can depend 
on things that occur after you click "start" or type the command, or 
whatever. If you want consistent behaviour, don't change workspaces so 
quickly.

You can move applications between workspaces, right-click on the 
titlebar for options.

There is a bug in that some applications don't remember which workspace 
they were in, and when you restart your session (for example, by logging 
off with the "save session" option, then logon again they restart, but 
in the wrong workspace. A major offender here is firefox, I somethimes 
have as many as 30 web browser windows open at once (I have been 
cleaning up, I only have 14 Firefox, 8 Seamonkey and a few Konquerors at 
the moment), and it's a pain to have firefox restart them all in the 
same workspace.

I presume that, since you said "workspace" that you are using xfce. 
Other desktop environments use other terms.

It is not like Desktops on Windows, or Spaces on OS X.
