I just read about gdevilspie on this list the other day and downloaded it for my mate desktop. Although it installed, it complains that python-wnck is not installed.
Does anyone know if it is supposed to work on mate? I would have expected it to install python-wnck as a requirement if not already installed?

The package you're missing is probably gnome-python2-libwnck.
On my desktop it gets a different error:
pyGTK is not correctly installed, exiting.
Fixed by installing pygtk2-libglade. That gets a new error which is fixed by commenting out line 374 of /usr/bin/gdevilspie.

Do you know if it is supposed to work with the Mate desktop or just Gnome?

I don't know but with the dependencies installed and the fix of commenting out line 374, it starts on MATE.
A couple of concerns:
the last commit to gdevilspie source was in Jun 12, 2010
devilspie is no longer maintained; development moved to devilsipe2 but that project is now looking for a new maintainer: http://www.nongnu.org/devilspie2/
devilspie2 is in epel (and Fedora). devilspie and gdevilspie packages come from nux.

I use devilspie.x86_64 (0.22) from nux repo here (CentOS7), simply works. The repo also provides devilspie2.x86_64, BTW.

Sorry, the *epel* repo provides devilspie2.
Using devilspie 0.22 here and gdevilspie 0.5 (both from nux), and w/ the dependency to gnome-python2-libwnck satisfied, I get this:
$ gdevilspie Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/gdevilspie", line 893, in <module> MainWindow = RulesListWindow() File "/usr/bin/gdevilspie", line 374, in __init__ self.UpdateAutostartStatus() File "/usr/bin/gdevilspie", line 545, in UpdateAutostartStatus if (os.path.exists(xdg.DesktopEntry.xdg_config_home + "/autostart/devilspie.desktop")): AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'xdg_config_home'
