progIf you make an application go full-screen, it only does so within its capital-S Space. (Spaces being Leopard's native virtual-desktop thingum.)
So, when I'm using Windows in VMWare, I can have it go full-screen and, lo, the illusion that I am using a Windows computer is complete, as usual. But then I can hit Ctrl-→ and the entire Windows desktop exits stage left and I'm looking at a Mac desktop again. Ctrl-← brings me back to Windozistan.
That is very sexy.

Date: 2008-03-14 07:25 pm (UTC)The auto-flinging behavior can be disabled in 10.5.2:
% defaults write com.apple.Dock workspaces-auto-swoosh -bool NO
% killall Dock
This leaves you with the opposite bug, where sometimes you are left in an app all of whose windows are in a different space. I prefer that, though.
Commentors recommend that you avoid this trick if you like to assign apps to specific spaces. (Fortunately, I don't do that.)
