How to specify the default workspace on startup ?

I have the following bindings:

bindsym $mod+0 workspace 0:web
bindsym $mod+1 workspace 1:code
bindsym $mod+2 workspace 2:view

And I've setup the following settings:

workspace "0:web" output HDMI1
workspace "1:code" output HDMI1
workspace "2:view" output HDMI1
workspace "0:web" output LVDS1
workspace "1:code" output LVDS1
workspace "2:view" output LVDS1
workspace 9 output VGA1

The default workspace after startup in HDMI1 or LVDS1 is always "1", not "0:web".

I've tried adding this line to ~/.i3/config, but with no luck:

exec --no-startup-id i3-msg "workspace 0:web"

How could I make it ?

You are assigning the same set of workspaces to two different outputs. How would this work? :)

Try assigning a workspace to at most one output. In case that does not work, please report a bug at http://bugs.i3wm.org/
