Here is part of the things that I am doing:
,----
| ;; Clear rules
| (clear-window-placement-rules)
|
| (define-frame-preference "System"
| ;; frame raise lock (lock AND raise == jumpto)
| (0 t t :title "htop")
| (0 t t :title "aumix")
| )
|
| (define-frame-preference "Default"
| ;; frame raise lock (lock AND raise == jumpto)
| (0 t t :title "emacs")
| ;; (0 t t :class "Xpdf")
| )
|
| (define-frame-preference "Misc"
| ;; frame raise lock (lock AND raise == jumpto)
| (0 t t :class "Firefox")
| )
|
| (run-commands "gnewbg System" "gnewbg Misc")

The important thing is to find out the match properties for your applications.
I use show-window-properties to display them. I have bound it to the
root-map to make the command easy accessible:
(define-key *root-map* (kbd "I") "show-window-properties")
