starting specific apps in specific workspaces

[Dave Reed <dreed capital edu>]

I've been using fvwm for years mainly because I like the fact that it
allows me to start specific apps in specific workspaces/desktops. For
example, I have xterm and emacs in one workspace for programming,
mozilla in another, etc.

I have yet to figure out how to get this functionality in sawfish. The
latest Red Hat beta no longer includes fvwm2 and recompiling the
src.rpm from Red Hat 7.3 worked, but all I get is a corrupted screen
when fvwm2 starts. So I'm thinking about finally making the leap to a
complete gnome environment, but I don't want to give up the ability to
start various apps in various workspaces automatically. Is this
possible in gnome?

Thanks,
Dave
