It’s fixed! It’s fixed! Thank God almighty, it’s fixed at last!

Sorry, I may have gotten carried away there. Leopard’s Spaces (about which you’ve heard me gripe ad nauseam) is finally fixed in 10.5.2 after changing a setting in a .plist file. This is done by:

defaults write com.apple.Dock workspaces-auto-swoosh -bool NO
killall Dock

My world is complete. I can now upgrade to Leopard. I’m the only Mac-user one in my office who hasn’t already.

Thanks to Lifehacker, Secrets (a new application to tweak many settings in Leopard), and ultimately Mac OS X Hints.
