10? 4?  hmm, I earlier today created 33 workspaces on blackbox.
blackbox only has one by default.  create more from the workspace
menu.  a simple right-click on any of the workspace backgrounds
brings up the menu (or if you have a 3 button mouse, the middle
button brings up just the workspace menu), and I can see what all
is open in each of the workspaces.  clicking on one of open apps
in the list jumps me to the workspace it's open in, and that app
has the focus.

or you can scroll through workspaces and focus your opened apps
with the toolbar.

looks like blackbox is getting ready for another release.  that's
good.  I was afraid it was a dying project.
