Thanks for your response. Won't this be global to all instances of the applications. I am concerned about pretty generic stuff. 4 xterms, each in particular positions (workspace 5) gnome-terminal, in a particular position (workspace 1) gqmpeg, various startup options (workspace 2) eterm, ditto (workspace 2) You get the idea. I tend to use a lot of xterm, eterms, etc. They are started all the time. I don't want to pin them to a particular workspace forever. /Duncan -- Duncan Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ climbing in the Pacific NW ~~~
