Also note that environment variables will not work if you expect to see them in e.g. shells; they're inherited at process creation time and cannot be updated by other processes afterward.
I know, but i figured it was better than the current situation. I'd
just have to remember the limitation.

Add EwmhDesktops to your config and use wmctrl or xprop -root to get the current desktop. Both will require processing the output: "wmctrl -d" indicates the current desktop with an asterisk and "xprop -root -notype _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP" includes the property name.
This is an awesome solution. Thank you so very, very much. I ended up using `wmctrl -d | egrep \* | cut -b 1` to get the workspace index, and created a shell script to munge everything together. Result: each workspace works with its own qpdfview instance. Thanks again! Chris
