I have a specific method of using my five GNOME workspaces to perform certain categories of tasks when I log in on a machine, so I just had a thought.

Is there a way to specify, say from a login script, for an application to start up in a particular workspace, preferably with a specific "screen" location?

I just did a google (highly recommended for all initial thoughts :-) for "gnome startup scripts". With a little refinement, it looks very promising.

What was wrong with the answer in the mail you replied to, but which you completely edited out?

Nothing. But, as has often been stated on this and other lists, the first step in finding an answer is to expend a little effort on your own. I think you have suggested this in the past. This is not the first time I've seen questions about things like this (in various fora and on various lists) so I thought a little reminder might be in order.

As to "but which you completely edited out", again the standard recommendation is to snip out things that are not needed for understanding the context of the reply. IIRC, you have recommended this in the past.

One thing that I prize on this list is the level of "professionalism" engendered by consistency of philosophy, courtesy, espoused protocols, gentle efforts to remind folks of these things, and also the willingness of folks to give actual help and answers. The last item can lead to *unintentional* abuse of that willingness.
