Exactly what is the Workspace Manager.  You can't drag files from
a Browser into a remotely run application.  You can run a remote
Workspace (and then everything works just they way you'd expect;
drag your dock all the way down first, though)--but if someone
tries to log in on the console they get a "surprise" because
you're only "licensed" to run one copy of Workspace at a time.
