Hi James,

Excerpts from James Robertson's message of 2012-04-13 12:43:17 +0200:

I understand how to make applications open on a certain desktop but
would rather have them open on a specific desktop when starting i3 and
then leave me with the option of opening the application on whichever
desktop I choose after that.
Your application needs to support startup-notifications for that and you need
to use i3 >= v4.1. Just switch to a specific workspace and launch your app
there. "exec i3-msg workspace 2; urxvt" should work. Make sure you have
urxvt >= v9.14 with enabled startup-notifications.

Best regards,
Michael
