For some reason, my spaces won't work with the assignment I put it to. For example, I have ichat to be on every space but it just stays on the first space unless I manually change it to a different space and then "Every Space" again.
Got a tip for us?

I have had problems keeping apps to one or all screens as well. There is definitely some strange behaviour going on in space.

Is there a way to put the Finder in all spaces, its really annoying that I have folder based on the space I am in.
how do you assign an app to open in all spaces? i'm having an issue with the default keyboard navigation. i'm on a mbp so it has the 'old' keyboard. if i hit f8 it dims the screen and shift and the arrow keys don't do anything. oh that new keyboard should definitely be a hint at some kind of new laptops now that leopard is out.

I took my MacBook in to work with me today to show off Leopard, but didn't have an external monitor connected like I do at home. All of the Apps that are normally in other Spaces, all piled up in the first space. I think it was because I had them set to the external monitor, but rather than put them on the built-in monitor for the Space they were in, it dumped them on space #1.

just tried it on mine, works fine (ichat set to every space)
when I go from space to space, ichat follows...
hrmmm
I have set Finder in every Space in Sapces Prefs (see below) and when open it follows me to every window. If it is closed it re-opens in the window I am using.
Mashinhead, I believe that you have to use Fn+F8 on a mbp to open all spaces. F8 did not work on my alu keyboard, so as you can see I changed it to F5.
The Ctrl + arrow keys move around the Spaces windows.

yea i'm having this issue with dreamweaver too. i have to change the space to open it in it's own space, but if i try to change it by selecting the program it doesn't work. Has anyone found a fix for this yet?

This may be the magic solution to make Spaces not be a joke.
One question: where is the Finder application? I can't find it anywhere...
I just found it in HD>System>Library>Core Services... however you don't need to know this to add it to every Space - I didn't. After clicking the + it appeared in the drop down list.
I've just noticed that the Dock is in that list too. I wonder the Dock could just be assigned to chosen Spaces or if a different Dock could be assigned to each space. I'm afraid I'm not knowledgeable or brave enough to try it.
