CDE - start app in specific workspace?

CDE - start app in specific workspace?

Post by Paul Smi » Sat, 05 Sep 1998 04:00:00



I'm using CDE with Solaris 2.6.  Is there a way to start a non-desktop
application (for example netscape) so it starts in a specific workspace?

I've tried adding the -workspace qualifier in .dt/sessions/home/dt.session

This seems to work for things like dtcalc and perfmeter, but not for
netscape or knews.

Any ideas?

TIA

Paul,

I don't have CDE on the screen right now to make sure this works, but my notes
say to use this flag:

-xrm "*workspaceList: ws0"

Of course the last zero could be any number, depending on how many desktops
you have.

1. CDE: How to start apps on a specific workspace

Hi

I like very much the CDE and the possibilty to have different
workspaces, but i could not figure out how to select at the command
line on which workspace an application should appear:
The best would be something like

        xterm -display :0.1 -workspace 3  

but because session/workspace management is build into the
window manager (and dtsession) this cannot work.

Any ideas how this can be achived ?
