Package: xfce4
Version: 4.2.3
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I recently switched from KDE to Xfce4 and one behavior disturbs me: I
was used to start all my applications (browser, mailer, PIM, console...)
switching inbetween from one workspace to the other, and KDE would take
care that each window would build up in the workspace from which I
started the application. I'd like to have this behavior also in Xfce.
More in details:
- in KDE I could do: start application 1 in workspace 1, switch to
workspace 2 (before application 1's window has actually appeared),
start application 2, switch to next workspace, etc... Go have a
coffee, and at the end, each application has started in the correct
workspace.
- in Xfce, I need to start application 1 in workspace 1, wait until
application 1's window has appeared, switch to workspace 2, start
application 2, wait, etc... No coffee! (if I don't wait I get all
windows in the current workspace)
Thanks, Eric

I'm closing this bug as it's not really a bug (not in Xfce at least). If you
still want to have this kind of behaviour, you can try Devil's Pie, wich is a
desktop tool used to tweak workspaces properties and that sort of things.
