Just noticed:

nedit &
icewm-change-workspace 2 && xterm &
icewm-change-workspace 3 && gvim &
icewm-change-workspace 4 && rxvt &

opens nedit, gvim an xterm on "Desktop 4" (index 3) and rxvt on
"Desktop 3" (index 2).  :-)  You see any pattern?  I don't  ;-)


However, I did some try'n error and currently

nedit &
sleep 0.5
icesh -window root setWorkspace 1 && xterm &
sleep 0.5
icesh -window root setWorkspace 2 && gvim &
sleep 0.5
icesh -window root setWorkspace 3 && rxvt &
sleep 0.5
icesh -window root setWorkspace 0

kind of does it.  Yuck.  Still, xterm seems to blow it somehow and opens on
desktop 3 [2] instead of 2 [1].  What's wrong there?  Why does it only work
when adding a sleep() call?

Cheers
