You may have a look at devilspie [1] & [2]. It`s a small app which
enables you to control the behavior of any application when it`s started
like resizing, pinning, skipping the pager, moving to another workspace
etc..  Also it doesn`t depend on a certain window manager (I`ve used
with GNOME and XFCE).
