    I may have a rather unique problem.

    I use dual displays, and 4 "Spaces" in Mac OS Snow Leopard. (although this is persistent since previous OSX's)
    I run a single, fullscreen Windows XP in Parallels 6.0.11994 (although this is persistent through previous versions)

    What happens: I assign Parallels Desktop app to use "Every Space" in Mac's Spaces preferences.

    When I open Parallels, it opens fullscreen, on the secondary monitor, just the way I left it the last time I used it. Great.
    However, it only appears in the Space that was active at the time that I opened it.

    If go to Spaces preferences, and assign it to any Space in particular, it works in that Space while running, and if I THEN assign it to Every Space again, it operates the way I want, and follows every change from space to space, staying in fullscreen on the assigned monitor. Great, but only until I shut down parallels and restart, and then I have to go back into Spaces preferences, and unselect Every Space, and reassign it to Every Space again.

    Okay, upon further exploration on Apple.com discussions site, it is apparent that this is an inherent problem in OSX, and not Parallels. (Or Adobe apps, etc.)

    It really should be the obligation of the Spaces system to be "aware" of all apps, and that no app should have to be aware of Spaces.
