    I'd like Parallels to run in its own Space on Leopard.

    However, when configuring Parallels to start in say, Space 4, (suing System Preferences -> Exposé and Spaces) it does not work right.

    There seems to be some conflict between Parallels trying to stay in the Space it was launched in, and Leopard trying to put it into Space 4.

    (It's hard to describe what happens in words - try it yourself and you will see what I mean).

    Any chance this visual glitch can be fixed?

    I saw this problem until I upgraded to Beta build 5570 yesterday. Now, what I'm seeing is, if Parallels is running in Single Window mode, it's cool. If Parallels is in Coherence mode, I get the start menu on every Space, even if I have Parallels assigned to Space 2 (as I typically would).
    Thing is that I'd, ideally, like to have 1 space, in Coherence, with all Parallels windows collected into that space. That would be perfect. At the moment, I'm a little annoyed, but it's MUCH better than the last Beta.

    Edit: One more thing I'm seeing that's kind of strange is, every once in a while, and for no particular reason, OS X will switch Spaces from the Space I'm working on into Space 2 (Where I have Parallels assigned). I thought, at first that it was changes in Outlook that was prompting this, so I disabled new email notification, but it still happens and not just when I get new email.

    I did a features REQ a time ago for this 'problem/feature'.
