Devil's Pie

My main gripe with window managers other than Windowmaker is the inability to confine applications to specific virtual desktops. I don't like IM windows to popup over my terminal windows, or browser errors to popup over mail messages. Windowmaker allows one to set an app's Initial Workspace, and so all windows appear in the designated workspace. No other window manager that I know of has this ability.

Not anymore. Devil's Pie is a nifty utility that captures a window creation event, and moves it to the specified virtual desktop. It is supposed to work across a range of window managers.
