Similar requests have been made in the past.  The problem (IIRC) is that
the WM doesn't have any way of knowing that the application announcing
itself or requesting a window to be managed (probably a better term for
that) is the application that was lauched on workspace "Foo".  There is
really no correlation between a given launch request and the window
appearing that the WM can act upon to put the window on the requested
workspace.  All current attempts to do this are messy kludges that may
or may not work.
