When the machine boots I am going to start several of the same application. I want to ensure they each get their own workspace. That is, no two instances of this application will ever appear on the same workspace.
This is why I think doF may be appropriate, but I am not completely sure and struggling to improve this confidence with the types.
Hello Tony, This module should help you more directly: http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Actions-SpawnOn.html Possibly modified to include features in here: http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib/XMonad/Util/SpawnOnce.hs Note that SpawnOn is simplified (incompatibly different) if you built xmonad from darcs, since you don't have to pass that 'Spawner' IORef around in that case.
