10.5: Make CopyPaste-X work in all Spaces

The problem is that when CopyPaste (from Script Software) launches, Spaces is already running, and somehow does not allow CopyPaste on all Desktops. You can substitute this AppleScript at login to make things work correctly:
Here's how to implement it:
- Open Script Editor, paste the above script, save it as an Application
- In CopyPaste's Preferences, disable launch at login
- Open the Accounts System Preferences panel
- Remove CopyPaste from Login Items
- Add your saved script to Login Items
- Logout, and back in to see it work
Note that there is a 20 second delay to allow CopyPaste to be fully launched before "re-Spacing" it. Also note that this script can be modified for any program; just replace the com.peter_hoerster.copypaste BundleID with the one from your desired program.
[robg adds: I haven't tested this one.]
