The problem with gimp is that it waits until its splash screen is actually
showing (getting mapped on the screen) before it continues loading…
You should report this as a problem at gimp if you need this functionality :).
Thanks for your help Michael,
Using the commands after each other instead of on seperate lines
works! For example the following opens urxvt on the correct desktops.
exec i3-msg workspace TERM ; i3-msg exec urxvt ; i3-msg workspace EDIT
; i3-msg exec urxvt ; i3-msg workspace MISC ; i3-msg exec urxvt
Iceweasel on Debian Sid is obviously not using startupnotify, I'll
take that up with Debian in a bug report but as long as I keep
Iceweasel as the last program to start I can work around it.
I am not planning on starting Gimp on i3 startup and it's not a show
stopper anyway.
Thanks again!
