Re: [i3] Starting apps on designated workspace only on i3 startup

use:

i3-msg workspace WEB; i3-msg exec iceweasel
i3-msg workspace TERM; i3-msg exec urxvt

I added these to my i3 config and some extra's for good measure such
as gimp and further urxvt's but they still end up loading on the wrong
desktops.

I also tested with just urxvt configured to load on each desktop...
they all opened on the same desktop.

Is a spinning/hourglass mouse cursor evidence of the notify event? I
get this when using dmenu_run but not if I execute the program from
urxvt or xterm.

Is there a way to check if an application uses startupnotify correctly?

Thanks for the help.
