2) Is there a way to run a terminal and a program from a specified directory? Like if I would do in a terminal : 1) cd "path" 2) emacs - so that emacs starts with "path" as its default directory
spawn "cd foo; some_application" should work. If it doesn't, runProcess from System.Process lets you specify a working directory: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/process/1.0.1.1/doc/html/System-...
4) I couldn't really find out how to move a program or terminal to a desktop, can you please make your example more precise? Let's say I want to run 2 instances of emacs and move the first to desktop 1 and the second to desktop 2. How would I do this?
If you are using the darcs version of xmonad, you can use XMonad.Actions.SpawnOn. Another way would be to have the application set a custom resource string(E.g. urxvt's -name option) or such which you could use in a manage hook to distinguish between the instances, but not every application lets you do that.
