Hi!

You're observing the difference between class name and resource name. Apparently 'xterm -class' sets the class name (called className in ManageHook), but 'urxvt -name' sets resource name (called resource in ManageHook).

This doesn't help, for me neither xterm -class icq or urxvt -name icq works with my config, here an excerpt: [ className =? "xterm" --> doF (W.shift "2") ], [ className =? "XTerm" --> doF (W.shift "2") ], [ className =? "icq" --> doF (W.shift "2") ], [ resource =? "icq" --> doF (W.shift "2") ], [ className =? "muttterm" --> doF (W.shift "2") ], [ className =? "Googleearth-bin" --> doF (W.shift "5") ], [ className =? "maple" --> doF (W.shift "5") ], [className =? "xmaple" --> doF (W.shift "5") ], [ className =? "Gimp" --> doF (W.shift "5") ], [ className =? "gimp" --> doF (W.shift "5") ], [ className =? "amarokapp" --> doF (W.shift "6") ], [ className =? "mplayer" --> doF (W.shift "7") ], [ className =? "Kpdf" --> doF (W.shift "8") ], [ className =? "Firefox-bin" --> doF (W.shift "9") ] ] where myFloats = ["Gimp", "gimp-2.2"] Funny that neither xterm, nor urxvt nor urxvt -name icq nor xterm -class icq is moved to Workspace 2? The same thing goes for me with Gimp, maple, mplayer, and google earth; the only things that actually are moved, are Kpdf, Firefox-bin and amarokapp, what am I doing wrong? Bastian

Hy, try to check the className using "xprop".

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "icq", "XTerm" WM_COMMAND(STRING) = { "xterm", "-name", "icq" } WM_CLASS(STRING) = "xterm", "XTerm" WM_COMMAND(STRING) = { "xterm" } WM_CLASS(STRING) = "icq", "URxvt" WM_COMMAND(STRING) = { "urxvt", "-name", "icq" } WM_CLASS(STRING) = "urxvt", "URxvt" WM_COMMAND(STRING) = { "urxvt" } Still doesn't work here Yours, Bastian
