Re: opening windows in diff workspaces



Ahhh . ok .. never knew what that was for .. makes sense now ...
hummm ...

I am going to play with it but I'll ask the question now just in case ..
the majority of the windows are all gnome-terminal .. but somehow do not
think that matters ... 

many thanks

Isn't the "matched windows" feature what you are looking for?

You can use sawfish-ui ("Matched Windows" tab) to configure the the
applications you want to be matched or you can use something like the
following code in your .sawfishrc:

(add-window-matcher 'WM_NAME "window-name"
		    '(workspace  . 4)
		    '(position  . (0 . 0)))
