Yup ... but , it depends on your exact X conf. Also, details may not
work for a few months when some code got broken. I am using 6 monitors
since 20 years. The first CRITICAL detail is that you MUST be using
xinerama: all monitors must be using independant desktops. This will
break big chinks of 3D accemeration.
Then, right clik on decoration of window (or ALT + right click if no
decoration at all), Windows submenu, and, play with Remebers and Locks.
It may take hours/days to find the details you want.
I usually start by locking position, size, and REMEMBER THESE LOCKS
against system; then, lock MAXIMISED state against user.
Then in remember, identifier is usually good for most apps (I said
MOST), and now in properties you are looking for VIRTUAL DSKTOP and
CURRENT SCREEN (+ position, size, locks).
E17 was historically the first DM that handeled win pref and remember
correctly (17y ago).
I have 8 desktops per monitor. The systray is about identical on all 3
monitors; Gkerllm sticks to one monitor over all desktops; and
restarting windows works just fine. Note that if apps are started via
.xinitrc before E, then E will catch windows and replace them correctly.
You can also launch apps via the E app manager, and tick "start app at
startup", or tick "restart app with E" in the remember properties.
Sometimes, doing an e hotrestart may restart them, ending in double
cessions. But ... you WILL break remembers if monitors are hotplugs. I
am having the issue on my laptop: if the monitor is detected by X after
E has started, then, app at startup are relocated on may monitor. There
are two ways to fix this:
- in .xinitrc , add a delay between start of X and start of E, so that X
has time to detect all your monitors before launching E
- in .xinitrc let E start, NOT ask E to start these apps, and, in
.xinitrc , before starting E, do something like { sleep 60 ; StartMyApp
; } & , so that E is allowed to start immediately, and app opens only
when E has detected all monitors.
My E (build 2y ago) does not support delaying apps after launch, or
conditionnal launch. It could be a nice feature, but they will probably
never implement this, as in most case it can be easily WA via .xinitrc .
So, yes, your simple question has a quiet complex answer ... and this is
not 1% of my knowledge about Xinerama.

So, I have a 3-monitor setup, and I keep a Chrome window on the right side
monitor with certain tabs open and another Chrome window on the left side
monitor with certain other tabs. The center monitor is for
terminal/Intellj IDEA/etc. When I close Chrome or log out and back in, and
restart Chrome, the correct 2 Chrome windows open with the correct tabs,
but they both end up on the center monitor instead of where they were when
they closed.
This behavior doesn't occur under other WMs/DE's.
Any ideas here?
