Perhaps ... but another option I thought of would be to get the alert panel 
displayed when you quit from GWorkspace to provide a third option.  At the 
moment it says 'Do you really want to quit?' with Yes/No buttons.  It could say 
'Yes'/'All Application'/'No' ... so that you an choose at the point where you 
confirm that you are shutting down GWorkspace.
I think that might be nicer than a hidden user default.
