Just to make it clear: the command will be spawned each time when windowset changes -- e.g. when you change the focus. It's harmless with setting kb layout, but if you use it for e.g. launching an application you'll get a new instance each time you change focus.

I wonder why it keeps and keeps spawning the program even if I stay on that workspace.... Cheers, Sergey
