What is the difference between pin app and pin window?
An easy way to imagine this is if you use pin window
on a chrome browser window,
only that window will be visible on all desktops. Any other chrome windows would
stay on a single desktop. If you were to pin application
on a chrome window then
all chrome windows would show up on all desktops. This includes new chrome windows.
