Then I am impressed of how well you cloned it.  Really! :-)

It is not if the two Viewers have different items on their Shelfs. :-)

Well, if multiple Shelfs are not supported by GWorkspace this is OK (if
I am the only one who has used this feature).  However then GWorkspace
should not allow the user to create different Shelfs in different
Viewers.  Otherwise the user can not be sure which one of the Shelfs
will be preserved after the restart.
