opening windows in diff workspaces

[Tom <sawfish tlcprogramming com>]

Hello

Sometime ago sawfish used to allow windows to overlap multiple
workspaces. I understand that the way workspaces are created has changed
but the old behavior allowed you to open a window using the --geometry
flag and place it in different workspaces.

Since this is no longer possible, is there another way to open a window
in a different workspace?

I used to use to automatically open up certain applications and position
them on my desktop where I wanted then.

Thoughts?
