Right click at the top of the window for any application, go to *Advanced*, then *Special Application Settings*. Under *Geometry* you can choose to set a desktop for each specific application; I myself like to "fix" my application according to groups (which are related, at least in my own mind); so all browsers are fixed to desktop 4, all pdfs open in desktop 9, all office documents open in desktop 1, email in desktop 3, and so on. I use all 20 available desktops, and almost always have stuff running on every one. That way I don't have to search for a document or application, if I have stopped to do something else. And I usually have (at least) several office docs open, email is up, three or four browsers running, a whole herd of shells, a dozen examples of Konqueror with six or seven tabs each; and so on. Also, under the same settings dialog, look for *Workarounds*, and consider setting *Focus Stealing Prevention* to high or extreme for most of your applications. Then if you are working on a document, or writing an email, you will not have your window suddenly changed just because somebody sent you an email or instant message, or because your wifi connection just got wonky; instead, you can opt for a little pop-up notification (which must be set separately within those applications). I find it really annoying when I am forced to attend to some nagging application that actually can wait without any ill effects. The worst that can happen is that you get disconnected, and need to reconnect again; which is what would happen, anyway. I hate it when machines try to do my thinking for me.
