That's not quite what I'm trying to accomplish.
When I shut down the machine for the day I want to exit all apps.
I currently get pretty much that. If an application has modified a file 
but not saved it, I'm prompted for instructions.


What I would like would be to have differing sets of applications 
available in each workspace.

Currently all workspaces have icons to access *_identical sets_* of 
applications.

I wish each workspace to have a set of tools applicable for a specific 
project.

For example:
Workspace 1 devoted to programming would have a programmer's text 
editor, compile/link/load utilities, and an IDE.
Workspace 2 devoted to a dissertation on Mesopotamian Architecture 
would have a word processor, note taking software, an outlining utility, 
and a link to a browser to bring up the university's online catalog.
Workspace 3 devoted to a fishing blog would have web authoring tools.
