[DiabloD3]

Thats similar to how I do it. I have a virtual desktop for every task (with desktop 1 being my things without tasks/screwing around group), with at least one Firefox window open in every desktop....

Then, I have a Firefox window open for every subtask[1], which for example, could be a window full of documentation tabs, a window full of more documentation tabs for a different thing, and then a window full of even more documentation tabs for a third thing, all next to Eclipse, with a few vims open too for stuff I dont want open in Eclipse.

[1] I've actually started consolidating sub-task windows into tab groups inside Panorama/Eyecandy so its just one window per task. Control-space to bring up the local tab groups is very nifty.
