Re: [xmonad] darcs patch: Support for spawning processes on a specific workspace

2009/1/26 Roman Cheplyaka :

Another question: what will happen to multi-window application, like Gimp? Will only the first window be redirected to another ws? (If other windows set TRANSIENT_FOR, this shouldn't be a problem, though)

It's not just transient windows in this case -- you also have to cater for window groups (see WM_HINTS). Whilst the ICCCM doesn't specify how these should be managed, most window managers will keep the grouped windows together with the leader; perhaps XMonad should do the same. -- Thomas Adam
