Is this possible? Thanks for the tutorial I was wondering if I could make an application on my 2nd monitor, not on the 2nd workspace. Is this possible?

Any workarounds for this I would love to use it but not if I can't get it going in compiz. This seems to work in metacity but not with compiz running.

This makes no sense. Preferences has been moved to be under System. And there is no "Sessions" in Preferences. <i>You may want to add devilspie to your “Applications > Preferences > Sessions”,</i> As usual, this information is outdated and wrong. This makes no sense.

Mac OS has done this since it was "NeXTSTEP" in 1990.

Then, from the adjacent drop-down menu, select the workspace ("desktop" in the KDE lexicon) on which you want it to appear. That takes care of putting it where you want it. And in my experience, if I close the program (Firefox, Konsole, jEdit, etc.) from a maximized configuration, it re-opens to maximized when I invoke it next time.

The script runs firefox on startup, then watches for the window to appear (using a looped xwininfo in another script) geting its Xid at the same time. when you have the xid, I can then use "xwit" to position, iconize, or set its desktop, just as I like.

This apparently uses the metacity window manager, who knows about different workspaces. Compiz only knows viewports. You can also try something like $metacity --replace to switch to metacity manually. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to get real transparency with metacity, so I have to stick to compwiz.
