I suggest you just add RandomPlacement. I confine various windows to a page that way. DestroyFunc PageR AddToFunc PageR I Style "$0" StartsOnPage $1 $2 $3, SkipMapping, RandomPlacement # desk/x/y PageR "*Outlook Web*" 0 1 2 PageR "Untitled Message*" 0 1 2 PageR Seamonkey-bin 0 0 1 PageR Netscape 0 0 1 PageR Mozilla* 0 0 1 PageR s2.pl 0 1 0 PageR s1.py 0 1 0 PageR xmms 0 1 1 PageR Audacious* 0 1 1 PageR Ryhthmbox* 0 1 1 PageR Music* 0 1 1 -- Dan Espen
