I am able to get my apps to start automatically now, but I can't seem to get them on workspaces. I don't understand the env DISPLAY properly, so I was experimenting with it. I tried this. # Autostart Some Apps env DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm -geometry -0+0 & env DISPLAY=:0.0 evolution & env DISPLAY=:0.0 firefox & Which works, but they are all on the first workspace. I tried DISPLAY=:0.1 but I guess that isn't it. Can I make this work this way somehow or do I need to use the devilspie?
