Workspace.app tries to be everything and in this case duplicates some
functionality that windowmaker, using Fiend (a.k.a. Clip), already has but
other window managers don't have.

That's an option on windowmaker. If you want Workspace or any other
application to (sort of) appear on all the workspaces then just right click
over the title bar and go into the "options" sub-menu, in there there is a
"omnipresent" option which works for each window sepparately, it doesn't work
for menues at all.

I don't use that functions on Workspace so it doesn't interfere with
windowmaker (which handles themes better anyway).

Haven't used it in a long time, it wasn't worth the bother back then (the only
wm that comes close to the real thing -- NeXTstep/Openstep is windowmaker) and
I don't think it has been improved.
