In my case, the multiple window app is Eclipse.
I have a dual monitor setup with each screen having its own set of workspaces. Eclipse being what it is, I want to be able to pull some of its tabs out into their own windows on the 'secondary' monitor. I can do that but when I quit eclipse and start it back up, everything opens on 1 monitor with the main eclipse window opening behind the others that are floating ( I assume they get marked as transient or something like that... )
Are there any blog posts, modules, example configs out there that I can take a look at to figure out how to get this setup working on application launch?
Basically you could use managehooks to position the windows on the workspaces/monitors you want them to be. For switching to eclipse you could also reuse my module for linking workspaces: http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=432 It allows the user to define a set of matching workspaces so that when you jump to the first one, the other monitors are switched to the corresponding workspaces.
