Comment #1 on issue 256 by sean.escriva: Xmonad should start programs in the workspace they were launched http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=256 This is sane default behavior. Where applications launch can be finely controlled in the ManageHook. For your case: className =? "YourBrowsersClass" --> doShift "YourWebWorkspace" There are other elements you can match on, see the documentation: http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad/XMonad-ManageHook.html -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
