[Devilspie2-discuss] strting a window maximized and unfocused

[Tomáš Hnyk]

Hello,
I would like to start some windows unfocused, but maximized (on a
specified workspace). Is there a way to do this? It does not seem to be
straightforward. My idea would be to start the application minimized and
then use wmctrl to maximize it and move it to the workspace. But I am not
sure about a way to hook external commands to devilspie2 scripts. Can it  
be done?

Also, how does it work with viewports? I use Compiz on Ubuntu with Unity  
and I have 9 viewports in a 3x3 grid. When I use  set_viewport(a); if a is  
1-3, it works correctly, but for numbers above 3, it does not work as  
expected (it just opens the window on current workspace).

There is a typo here  
http://www.gusnan.se/devilspie2/manual.php#decorate_window, I think, it  
should be "decorate" and not "docorate".

BTW: There does not seem to be much consistency in naming the fuctions -  
sometimes you get "window" in functions names and sometimes not. Like in  
"set_viewport" and "set_window_workspace()". It is not serious, but  
confused me when I first read the docs.
Best regards,
Tomas
