Why Spaces change alone when starting the apps?

Question

This is really annoying... when I login, I start some distinct applications, and when they appears, I move them in the appropriate Space. But some apps, as iTunes, continue to "ask my attention" changing the active Space to the one when iTunes is hosted. Then I change, and iTunes change again and again. Really annoying! How to avoid?

the last part of that sentence was left off: “but after that, they stay in their Spaces while I work in other Spaces.”
Ok your iTunes start automatically after your login, this is not my case but who cares, the behaviour is the same,
The automatic switching occurs at startup only if applications are included in the System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items tab. If no applications are in the Login Items list, an application opens in the current Space if it has not been assigned a Space, or in the Space assigned to it.
if I start iTunes in Space 2 and go back to Space 1, I'm automatically switched again to Space 2 when iTunes is ready and think this is so an important event to inform me. Not really.
Anyway, ok, I assume this is "normal", at least in Leopard.
This is not normal. I have never had iTunes automatically switch Spaces to get attention or any other time, and iTunes is open all the time.
Have you tried assigning the applications to Spaces using the method described previously (System Preferences/Exposè & Spaces/Spaces tab and clicking the + button at the bottom to add the applications to their own Spaces)?
