Re: [BadWM-devel] startup stuf in configs

[Alexander K. <god...@bk...>]

Ok,

Now i understand why it's not THAT simple :)
Where is a startapp option now, it parses the vdesk and the cmd now, but it uses spawn, and spawn don't support setting the desktop.
The problem here is that the window self is created after parsing the configs, it's made by a event, and the event don't know about the vdesk we wanted so much.
What can we do? we can implement a startapp mechanism, it should remember all the parameters we had specified in the configs and then after all it shell start the apps, however, make_new_client have now 3 arguments where the last one is vdesk.

i have no more ideas :(
Berney, please help :)
