That's exactly the point -- I can't disable it, because then I'd lose spaces. If it wasn't clear from the initial post, I'm a fairly heavy user of spaces. :)
If I didn't care about spaces, I wouldn't have taken the time to write up a long post detailing how they are broken in MC. Broken spaces are bad, but no spaces are worse.
I understand. My main machine has a multimonitor setup with 30'' displays and I have not found anything that can manage the space effectively (pardon the pun) short of xmonad, which I unfortunately can't use for my day job.
I didn't post that comment to you, it was more of a general comment to anyone reading the thread who might think "hey, I hate this thing too, but for different reasons!" Like I said, I expected not to like it at all myself for unrelated reasons to yours.
