When you save a workspace the [ ]  Load Workspace on Startup seems to be set on by default, but you can't see it.  Also, in the SelectWorkspace and Manage Workspaces... dialogs, it is not possible to see which of multiple workspaces has been selected for "Load Workspace on Startup".  When you have multiple screen layouts - we have 1, 2 and 3 screen layouts and often for each multiple, we have a number of options (for example, 2 screens, 1 horizontal and 1 vertical versus two horizontal).

We have specifically set the [ ]  Load Workspace on Startup to a specific single screen layout that should always load, regardless of the various physical layouts.  The user then selects the specific physical layout they are working on at that specific time.

However, we find that the wrong layout can be selected at startup, even though we thought the correct startup workspace had been setup.  Since we can't check (without interrogating the registry) which is the currently selected workspace on startup, we flounder around setting/resetting workspaces.
