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'
