Re: ANN: GWorkspace 0.6.5

I must of missed this one.  I'm not "up" on the internals of gdomap 
though too.  I did try gdomap -N and even (gasp) gdomap -H.  :-)

I was surprised that gdomap -N showed applications that were running by 
other users, even root.  This intrigues me because it is not what I 
expected, I will have to look at the source for gdomap.
