I'm not sold yet.  The Workspace seems to always work in
place, which is very bad in my situation.  I don't want to
uncompress/tar things in the Archives every time I or one
of my users wants to look at them- and you don't want me to
either.

Can I make the Workspace do its thing in /tmp like Opener
does?  If not, I'm sticking with Opener and encouraging
people here to as well.
