I tried it with xinit.
I made an entry corresponding  to the xclients in .xinitrc. The xclient i choose
was xterm
where i specified different geometry and then i thought of invoking my app's from
each xterm.

The lines in  $HOME/.xinitrc was exactly

    xterm -display  :0 -geometry +0+60 -e netscape-communicator &
    xterm -display  :0 -geometry +0+700 -e netscape-communicator &
    xterm -display  :0 -geometry +700+60 -e netscape-communicator &
    xterm -display  :0 -geometry  +700+700 -e netscape-communicator

This worked fine as far as the xterm's are concerned but the app's which in my
case was
netscape-communicator got settled in the fist workspace.

Could u be more explicit in the topic regarding the windowmaker.
