In 10.6 that when use Exposé in Application Windows mode, it shows all windows, not just the ones in the current Space. I always end up clicking on the wrong window and being whisked away to a another Space.
To stop that from happening, open Terminal and run these two commands:
defaults write com.apple.dock wvous-show-windows-in-other-spaces -bool FALSE killall Dock
From now on, Exposés Application Windows mode will only show windows in the current Space.
To reverse this hint, use
defaults delete com.apple.dock wvous-show-windows-in-other-spaces killall Dock

THANK YOU!!!!! I’ve recently been trying to take advantage of Spaces to compartmentalize what I’m working on, but the default behavior was driving me insane. Defeats the whole point of Spaces when Expose shows all 20 windows from 4 different Spaces.
Hallelujah.

I can’t seem to make the reverse of this work. Currently my expose will only show applications in whatever window I’m in when I use it. I want to hit expose, and have every single window I have open, no matter what space it’s in. I tried using the reverse hint, but I get this:
There is no (wvous-show-windows-in-other-spaces) default for the (com.apple.dock) domain.
Thoughts from anyone?

Robby, try
defaults read com.apple.dock wvous-show-windows-in-other-spaces
and see if “com.apple.dock wvous-show-windows-in-other-spaces exists.. Maybe you didn’t write. what you see after “defaults write com.apple.dock wvous-show-windows-in-other-spaces -bool FALSE” ? and restart your Finder by killall Dock in Terminal
