Now that's a good suggestion IMHO. :)

Supposing there will be a preference or command line option
open_on_same_desktop:

	workspace = INT_MAX
	socket = None
	for s in socket_list:
		if abs(s.workspace - current_workspace) < workspace -
current_workspace:
			socket = s
			workspace = s.workspace
			if workspace == current_workspace:
				break

	if socket is None || (open_on_same_desktop && workspace !=
current_workspace:
		load_default_session = socket is None
		open_new_instance()
		return

	...continue with socket.c "now we send the command line args"

(Of course, this only takes place if no --socket-name is specified.)
