Hey, Yep, this is what our awful.rules module is for. Please read the documentation about it: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/FAQ#How_to_start_clients_on_specific_tags_and_others_as_floating.3F http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/api/modules/awful.rules.html And refer to your rc.lua's section for this If you want something more specific done that isn't clear how to do with awful.rules, it's still pretty much always possible using the awful.rules callback rule for a custom function. You can write more to us about that if you end up needing it. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
