I have linked to the qubes-issues thread where it seemingly came up. The full problem quote is: "I tried to install devilspie2 for testing purposes on Qubes. Currently, it's not work on Qubes. Devilspie2 function get_window_name() return Windows names without AppVM labels. Therefore, it's not possible to sort windows on desktops by AppVM name." I reckon it is not actually correct and the lua scripts you provided work in Qubes 3.2 "as is"? If so, if I may ask a few questions: 1) do the lua provided "stick" the window to a given desktop (as in, I won't be able to send a window to a different virtual desktop even if I try) ? 2) if no, does devilspie2 provide a way to do that ? 3) if yes, is there a way to avoid sticking (as in, always start in desktop 1, but can be sent to any other desktop) ? 4) could you please write up a quick primer on using devilspie2 with qubes (any caveats, etc?)
