That reminds me about something that annoys me when using the multiple
workspaces allowed by CDE.

As is probably common, I have different workspaces for different
machines I might be using.  Each typically has its own XEmacs going,
as well as a VM frame from my local XEmacs (I tell the VM frame to
"occupy all workspaces").

At the end of each day, I typically q(uit) VM.

Here's the problem.  If I happen to try to q(uit) VM while in a
workspace other than the local one, VM quits but the frame remains.
The first few times this happened, I thought something was wrong, so I
tried to delete the frame by hand, only to be told that it couldn't be
deleted since it was the only visible frame.  Well, yea, but there's a
frame in another workspace.

Anyway, this probably isn't a bug, but rather behavior I don't much
like.  I guess deleting the last frame would be undesirable, but is
there any way to improve the behavior wrt virtual workspaces?
