Quoting Yannic Haupenthal <m...@thedarkwebsite.de>:
I have the same problem, so i wrote in my wmiirc (in the Tagging Rules
section):

/Firefox.*/ -> 3
/Thunderbird.*/ -> 2
/Pidgin.*/ -> 4
/alsamixer.*/ -> 0
/weechat.*/ -> 4
so this pre-defines where various apps will start ?
(yes, I'll read tthe documentation)

And yes, i know that Firefox and Thunderbird sucks ;)
and we both still use them !

At system start i run a little script:

thunderbird & &>/dev/null
firefox & &>/dev/null
pidgin & &>/dev/null
urxvt -T "weechat" -e sh -c "weechat-curses"& &>/dev/null
urxvt -T "alsamixer" -e sh -c "alsamixer"& &>/dev/null

So there is every program on a predefined window.

Is this is a solution for you?
In the right direction.

So if I may re-iterate,
pre-define where apps will open, using the tagging scripts,
and then open each one from another script, and voila ?
I /will/ need to lern more about dem tags.

here's a riddle or two;
How do I include the column, and the order within the column, of each item ?
Is there any way to also direct the window-mode (stack, default, maximum) for each column ?

I know this is asking a lot, but this functionality is make-or-break for me,
and I'll bet important for may other potential-users who sometimes turn their computers off.

thanks again,
djp
