Spaces option gone in Lion GM (11A511)?

I'm sure going to miss Spaces...... 🙁

So to get back on topic.....can anyone confirm whether assigning an app to a space "sticks" when you quit the app or reboot the machine?

It does (most of the time). Sometimes it glitches and the app opens up in whatever space you're currently in. For example, I assigned Word 2011 to Desktop 2 (my "workspace"), whereas Desktop 1 is my internet browsing/general purpose space. Sometimes when I open up a document I downloaded, it will open up in Desktop 1, although this seems to have been fixed after a reboot.

Well that's definately some good news.

No doubt mission control is going to take some getting used to (like having to select a space twice unlike in SL to switch to it).

But I need to be able to assign apps to spaces and have them stick.

Sorry Kevin, I had intended to answer you; 🙂
I have seen some weird behavior in this regard, but for the most part my apps do stick to the desktops that I assign them to. I have noticed that if I interact with any of the desktops on a reboot BEFORE Lion has FULLY launched and FULLY readied ALL the desktops, sometimes an app will lose track of which desktop it wad originally stuck to. This is a bug which I have submitted to Apple.

Sounds good, thanks John. Bugs I can handle......at least they didn't remove the option all together.

Hmm that wasn't the topic I believe! The topic is about whether spaces are gone! And yes spaces are dead. Now you have "desktops" and full screen apps.
