Hello Michelle,
I run windowmaker, Debian Jessie, and startx.
I pre-position/size programs iceweasel, vlc, and mlterm on my screen.
The following works for me:
1. Size and place your programs on your screen manually one time.
(For iceweasel, it helps to set start page to blank page.)
2. On window menu click "Exit" (not "Exit session:).
3. On Exit window, check "Save workspace state" and
then click "Exit".
4. Then restart X by entering "startx" on the console.
Windowmaker starts on the same workspace you used in 2. above.
The windows for the programs are as in 1. above.
Startx runs my ~/.initrc which is the one word wmaker
I hope this helps you,
Nick
