bind app to specific workspace

Post by Michael Hank » Fri, 20 Jul 2001 22:20:58



Hi there,

is it possible to bind applications to specific workspaces
(desktops) ? Like on kde startup.

I want to klick the panel icon of kpresenter and have the
window appear in desktop 3 , no matter which desktops I change
to while kpresenter is loading.
Are there command line options like '--desktop XY' in QT or KDE ?

Lost my news server for a few days but it looks like no one posted re the
above.

kstart  --desktop 3 kpresenter

Though you will still be presented with the dialog box unless you write a
script to start it with a blank file.  Or simply make a file called new.kpr
and put it in your home directory.
Then you could do:
kstart  --desktop 3 kpresenter ~/new.kpr  or put this in a script.
Always remembering of course to save it as something else.

Yeah/2 I have to correct myself.

There's a problem with kstart:
`kstart --currentdesktop konsole'  or
`kstart --desktop N konsole' and you stay in
the current desktop or desktop N produces a konsole
application that is not managed by kwin nor can be accessed
via keyboard. The only thing one can do is exit this
konsole with the mouse.
If one `kstart --currentdesktop konsole'  and changes the
desktop afterwards, the konsole window appears as usual.

Ideas ?
