I can't seem to set the Banshee window to always appear on a set workspace.
From Config:
set $bansheeSpace 8: Music
assign [class="^Banshee$"] $bansheeSpace
As far as I can tell, the class name is 'Banshee'
Output of xlsclients -l:
Window 0x2e00001:
Machine: blah.foo.bar
Name: Banshee
Icon Name: Banshee
Command: Banshee
Instance/Class: Banshee/Banshee
But I can't seem to crack it. Is anyone else having a similar problem?
To 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.html
Right...I appreciate the answer. 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.
