nice question...
does a quantifier in the apps file solve your problem?
[app] (class=XTerm) {1}
  [Workspace]  {2}
[end]

if i wanted an xterm in workspace 3 an also two more xterm on
workspace 4 on specific positions, i would run from startup script
xtern -name WS3 and make a rule on apps file to match the window name
[app] (name=WS3)
  [Workspace]  {2}
[end]
and another rule for each xterm on workspace 4.

or i could use wmctrl to move each xterm to it's workspace but maybe
i'd have to use sleep so i'd rather keep on the other solution...

i wish there was some env variable or something i could set in order
to tell an application to run in a desired workspace, maybe there is,
but that's my two cents, hope it helps!
