Hm, many apps don't support that hint. But I forged a function that might be
usable as a replacement for Exec:
DestroyFunc DExec
AddToFunc DExec
+ I Style $0 StartsOnDesk $[desk.n], SkipMapping
+ I Exec $0
But this doesn't seem to work since the command name $0 doesn't neccessarily
coincide with the proper style idenitifier.
Any ideas how to fix this?
BTW, even KDE has that feature builtin.
