Hi list, I'm trying to spawn a few apps at startup using XMonad.Actions.SpawnOn. I'm using this repo as a starting point: github.com/davidbrewer/xmonad-ubuntu-conf. I have modified the xmonad.hs as follows: ...

myWorkspaces = [ "7:Chat", "8:Dbg", "9:Pix", "4:Docs", "5:Dev", "6:Web", "1:Term", "2:Hub", "3:Mail", "0:VM", "Extr1", "Extr2" ]

...

main = do xmproc <- spawnPipe "xmobar ~/.xmonad/xmobarrc" xmonad $ withUrgencyHook NoUrgencyHook $ defaultConfig { focusedBorderColor = myFocusedBorderColor , normalBorderColor = myNormalBorderColor , terminal = myTerminal , borderWidth = myBorderWidth , layoutHook = myLayouts , workspaces = myWorkspaces , modMask = myModMask , handleEventHook = fullscreenEventHook , startupHook = do setWMName "LG3D" windows $ W.greedyView startupWorkspace spawn "~/.xmonad/startup-hook"

...

* spawnOn "7:Chat" "firefox"*

, manageHook = manageHook defaultConfig <+> composeAll myManagementHooks <+> manageDocks , logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ xmobarPP { ppOutput = hPutStrLn xmproc , ppTitle = xmobarColor myTitleColor "" . shorten myTitleLength , ppCurrent = xmobarColor myCurrentWSColor "" . wrap myCurrentWSLeft myCurrentWSRight , ppVisible = xmobarColor myVisibleWSColor "" . wrap myVisibleWSLeft myVisibleWSRight , ppUrgent = xmobarColor myUrgentWSColor "" . wrap myUrgentWSLeft myUrgentWSRight } } `additionalKeys` myKeys

... However, it will just always spawn the app in the *current* workspace, and never in the workspace passed in the 1st argument. I'm using: * Ubuntu 12.04 LTS * xmonad 0.10 (installed from Ubuntu's 12.04 deb packages) * And I'm using the git repo I mentioned above as a starting point. Am I doing anything wrong? Thanks in advance, -- Marcelo
