I honestly had no idea that Eric personally worked on Spaces himself.
I didn't look at his email address, so I didn't even realize he worked
for Apple at all. I am very sorry if I offended you in any way, Eric.
My response stemmed from the fact that it would seem to be fairly
trivial for Apple to post a notification when a Spaces switch
occurred, and also fairly typical for them to not do so, which is kind
of annoying when someone like me wants to play with the new hotness too.
Again, I apologize to anyone I may have offended. My response wasn't
intended to mean, "You guys suck," or any other kind of personal
attack. All it meant was, "Man, that's really annoying. It seems
like five extra minutes from 'Apple' would've saved me hours of
hackery coming up with a solution that doesn't work as well and wastes
more system resources than are needed."

Nope. Never heard of them until just now. My only experience is with
AppKit, Foundation, and a tiny bit of CoreData, and all of that was
basically puttering. I'll try to find the documentation and see what
I can figure out. Thanks for the lead. Much appreciated.
