I have successfully edited the runmenu binary and simply rewrote the 
string to say "Current Workspace"

You just have to:

* Use a binary-safe editor.
I just used the built-in "cooledit" editor in Midnight Commander.

* make sure you are in overwrite mode, NOT insert mode.
In cooledit, just press Insert until the [----] indicator on top shows 
[---O]

* make sure you do NOT delete or backspace, use only arrow keys and 
spacebar to edit.

In cooledit, press F7 to search for "Current", that jumps you to the 
"Current Filename" string.

Just arrow over and overwrite "Filename" with "Workspace", or, change 
the entire string anyway you want. It could be all blank spaces if you want.

In other words, do NOT add or remove any characters, make sure the 
string stays exactly the same length, and make sure the file is saved 
without the editor making any unintended changes to the rest of the 
file, like line-endings etc.

Sounds tricky but it's actually nothing. A few seconds, easy peasy.

I also edited the dpromenu dproment menus to add a "" argument to the 
ddefine command line just for convenience. Otherwise it tries to load a 
file named "Some Company Name (some tty number)"
