But you *can* do it. If you download the highly experimental bbappconf
application, figure out how to configure it based on the pre-alpha quality
documentation and by guess and by god.
I have 4 workspaces, and my /usr/local/share/bbtools/bbappconf.bb looks like:
!Uncomment what you need
!Number of windows to configure
bbappconf.numberOf.configs: 3
! For now only classhints (name and/or class) can be used to select window
! You can use clashint name and/or classhint class,
! if both are specified both should match.
! To find classhint use xprop: WM_CLASS(string) = "name", "class"
! To set only the mainwindow of licq sticky and decorless :
bbappconf.1.classHint.class: Netscape
!bbappconf.1.classHint.name: Netscape
!bbappconf.1.Stick: true
!bbappconf.1.decorless: true
bbappconf.1.startOnWorkspace: 4
! start xterm with "xterm -name workspace2"
bbappconf.2.classHint.class: XTerm
bbappconf.2.classHint.name: Workspace2
!bbappconf.2.Stick: true
!bbappconf.2.decorless: true
bbappconf.2.startOnWorkspace: 2
bbappconf.3.classHint.class: XTerm
bbappconf.3.classHint.name: Workspace3
bbappconf.3.startOnWorkspace: 3
! ** auto reconfigure when config-file has changed **
bbappconf.autoConfig: True
! ** number of seconds between checks **
!bbappconf.autoConfig.checkTimeout: 10
!** position of bbappconf window **
bbappconf.position: +0-0
And my .xinitrc looks like:
blackbox & wmpid=$!
bbappconf -w &
bbpager -w &
xterm -sb -geometry 80x24+20+20 &
xterm -sb &
xterm -sb -name "Workspace2" &
xterm -sb -name "Workspace2" &
xterm -sb -name "Workspace3" &
netscape -mail &
wait $wmpid # Wait for wm (key client) to exit
And that gives me two xterms in both Workspace 1 and Workspace 2, one in
Workspace 3, and Netscape Mail in Workspace 4.
