Hi,
I have posed this question earlier but I got no response. So I went ahead with a generic (and totally useless) subject line.
How can I open applications in different workspaces (in fluxbox) on
startup automatically?
E.g.: firefox in workspace 1
thunderbird in workspace 2
2 Eterms in workspace 3
etc. etc.
Any idea if this is possible? If so how?
Thanks,
Hareesh
emerge and configure devilspie to get the apps to open on different, specific workspaces. I don't know how you run programs at startup under fluxbox, as I use Openbox, but the "normal" (generic) way to do this is to
1) add programs to your ~/.xinitrc before starting the WM (often used if you start your WM from the commandline);
2) if using a DM such as GDM or KDM, edit the *.desktop file for the WM to point to a script which starts the various programs and then your WM (this is what I generally do);
3) use the WM's own "autostart" function to run the various programs (both GNOME and KDE have this functionality over and above their session retention feature, but I don't know if flux does as well).
HTH, Holly
