	I'm curious, what are you sending to another desktop by clicking on the 
desktop?  If you want to send a particular window to another desktop you 
can either right click on the title bar or left click on the  [-] window 
widget thingy.  The "Send to..." selection there will let you send the 
window to any desktop/workplace you want.
