Auto start an application in a workspace

Hi! I would like to have a specific application to automatically start in workspace 2 when booting. Is there an elegant way to make that happen? Thanks

There’s a gui for devilspie in the repositories; just type “gdevilspie” (omitting the quotes ) into the Software Centre or into Synaptic. It does exactly what you ask for

Hi there,

I was just wondering, would this work only when an application boots for the first time or it would work for the child windows of the same application?
I guess to send a certain application to certain workspace, it uses the window class of that application right?
I need this for Matlab, when it is opened in a different workspace and it generates a new window (a figure), what will happen?

  1. I will stay at the current workspace and the new figure will stay on the workspace where is the Matlab?
  2. or I will be switched to the Matlab workspace?
  3. or the new figure will appear in my current workspace?

what I want is the option 1) :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance.
