I run X with 4 workspaces. If I try to shutdown or reboot, often it hangs because it's waiting for a "close or cancel" window in another workspace. IOW, I'm in workspace 4. I try to shutdown, gedit on workspace 1, displays a window asking about saving a new file ( I can see it appear in the Wokspace Switcher ). Shutdown hangs, but I can't get to workspace 1. The only way out is ctl-alt-backspace.

Maybe kde does it better, and maybe there's some clever keystroke combo that would cancel the shutdown, but in IMHO, there should be a popup in the active workspace ( or maybe a shift to the workspace with the message?).

Wouldn't the more obvious solution be to just fix the save dialogs to appear in the correct workspace? Fix the broken things; don't implement work-arounds.
