The wiki doesn't present anything either. What I mean is for example when I launch Firefox, I want it to go to workspace 3. When I launch gimp, I want it on workspace 7. I can easily specify that in xmonad, using either the window class or window title. I don't want to have to move all these windows where I want them every time I log in. --=20 Sterling (Chip) Camden | sterling@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com | http://chipsquips= .com --eheScQNz3K90DVRs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (FreeBSD) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMm6S/AAoJEIpckszW26+RymAH/1lwVlpXQmqWZDgjHt35ylKY 7bH812hfizp/TM0BokO2f495vZje7GqmVmJLVYbEDzcOzapnOVHUZ7kdjAebEyiI oKOJ0WkPum1covcq/wTGQAuF6LMRy3aARp7FqyUf6MSJ3uABuz+6hvqhH490jnRN vj/7n/c9HfMehVkyHu3pF/pCwRQureNoPwWGcKHtXEzSCwto33cqWTrs6f5jqVMW P+804hgthO5Vay/OKeULZGxfmZu4xunatTZcQNuahjr3lVRFITSRfh0U3CYNqTlj lO0MkEMhBUaFohfyJRMDq5Sun7afT6kMTCCBi1+icPxHE777QFErTjQIiOFYF7c= =/d90 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --eheScQNz3K90DVRs--
