      Emacs allows a workspace
    change and the menu stays posted,other apps appear to detect that you
    shouldn't be changing w/s in this context

I have four questions:

1. What is a workspace?

2. What is the meaning of a workspace change?

3. What action does the user perform to request a workspace change?

4. What do these other apps actually *do* when you take an action
   that tries to perform a workspace change and they think "you shouldn't"
   do that?
