Comment 2 Palm Pre 2011-12-30 23:12:12 CET

It looks like gnome-shell is designed to do so: closing the only running application on workspace closes workspace as well and ask(suggest?) what you want to start doing now. 

Just personal opinion.

Btw, the same story with single gnome-terminal on second workspace.

In that case you should report the bug upstream (at bugzilla.gnome.org)

Comment 4 Palm Pre 2011-12-31 01:08:37 CET

There was a discussion on gnome-shell mailing list - http://osdir.com/ml/gnome-shell-list/2011-08/msg00147.html - (see Dynamic Workspaces - Proposal 08-21).

It didn't get much attention.

The single bug - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663984 (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663984) clearly shows the status of the issue.

You may close this bug as well.
