Hello. This patch adds functionality to spawn a process on a specific workspace by using the "_NET_WM_PID" property that most applications set for their windows(idea by sjanssen).

By the way, shouldn't it be possible with the same method to force applications appear at the same workspace they were launched?

Only if you can make the app tag its window with that somehow. I think you'll find there's no way to do it automatically.

Tag with what? They are already tagged with _NET_WM_PID, as observed. The module maintains a map from PID to workspace on which application should be launched. Rather than explicitly specify workspace, we can use the current workspace at the moment app is launched. -- Roman I.
