The original purpose of my original post was to find a better way to launch a firefox instance at workspace 2, without forcing the rest of firefox instances to be shifted to that workspace. I used manageHook because I don't have any other thing in my xmonad toolbox right now, but as I said, I doubt that's the correct way for what I intend.
Hm, does the ManageHook have a way to inspect the current set of windows? It should be possible to check if there is another firefox window, and if not then move the current one to workspace 2.
A hokier but simpler approach (if you plan on always leaving a firefox window open on workspace 2) would be to simply check if there are any windows in workspace 2. This is nice because it's a pure function of state (i.e. doesn't require any calling out to examine windows). But I can't say precisely how to implement it, as I haven't ever created a ManageHook (and am not looking at the code just now). -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University
