From Config: <pre><code>set $bansheeSpace 8: Music assign [class="^Banshee$"] $bansheeSpace </code></pre> As far as I can tell, the class name is 'Banshee' Output of xlsclients -l: <pre><code>Window 0x2e00001: Machine: blah.foo.bar Name: Banshee Icon Name: Banshee Command: Banshee Instance/Class: Banshee/Banshee </code></pre> But I can't seem to crack it. Is anyone else having a similar problem? https://faq.i3wm.org/question/951/banshee-media-player/?answer=963#post-id-963To quote the userguide: > To get the class and instance, you can use xprop. After clicking on the window, you will see the following output: > > WM_CLASS(STRING) = "irssi", "URxvt" > > The first part of the WM_CLASS is the instance ("irssi" in this example), the second part is the class ("URxvt" in this example). When I run xprop on banshee, I get: > WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Banshee", "banshee" And when I use the following in my config file, Banshee starts up on the workspace “8: Music“: set $bansheeSpace 8: Music assign [class="^banshee$"] $bansheeSpace In case you run into a similar issue in the future, you can check i3’s log to figure it out, see http://i3wm.org/docs/debugging.htmlWed, 02 Jan 2013 18:57:02 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/951/banshee-media-player/?answer=963#post-id-963Comment by TheQueasle for To quote the userguide: <blockquote> To get the class and instance, you can use xprop.

I guess I should have been more verbose with the troubleshooting steps I took to get to this point...the FAQ is my last stop in troubleshooting. I'll try again with a fresh install after I upgrade to Fedora 18, and then move to the logs if that fails as well.
