can fluxbox auto-group applications but only for the applications started on the same workplace?

Dear all

I am very fond of fluxbox. My work is the kind of work that often gets 
interrupted, thus I wish to organize my workspace in this way:

	1. I work on debugging an application on the first workspace. I 
	   name this workspace "debug application";
	2. But I am suddenly interrupted by a high priority task B, say, 
	   Mike wish me to get him an accounting sheet, I switch to the  
	   next workspace, name it "accounting sheet", and leave 
	   everything on "debug application" workspace just there.  
	   a.k.a. the debugger, editor, console etc I started for 
	   debugging, are left in the first workspace. I open 
	   "openoffice" on the "accunting sheet" workspace.
	3. during making the accounting sheet, I found I need to send 
	   John an "account statement" in order to settle down a 
	   transaction, for which I need to look up 5 other documents. I 
	   switch to a new workspace and name it "about John" and open a 
	   lot of documents there and create an "account statement".
	4. like this, I can open up to 8 workspaces for tasks that are 
	   stacking.

This finally makes up a stack of tasks -- stack of workspaces. Each of 
them need their own set of application, like rxvt, openoffice, email 
software. Now I got a problem:

I set automatical grouping for rxvt, openoffice and email compose 
window. So if I wish to start rxvt in "accounting sheet" workspace 
(probably just to launch 'bc' for some quick calculation), I found rxvt 
is opened in the first workspace "debug application". The same happens 
if I open an openoffice window in "about John" workspace, the applcation 
auto-grouped and started sitting in "accounting sheet" workspace.

Is it possible to set autogroup, but force fluxbox to only group it in 
the same workspace? That would solve my problem.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. 1) I actually use rxvt-unicode and client-server of rxvt; 2) I am 
also trying to organize my work to avoid getting interrupted at all, in 
non-technical ways;
