Well, I'm a web developer and I always want some applications opened
when I startx. So the bottom of my ~/.i3/config looks like:
exec i3-sensible-terminal
exec gedit
exec google-chrome
exec parcellite
I'd like to place those in a specific layout/position when i3 starts:

How can I?
I use a shell script for auto starting. Here is a basic example. I use
xdotool for waiting until a program is initialized. I added the
paramater `--onlyvisible' to xdotool. It works much safer.

For a more complex autostart file have a look one level up in my git.
