Re: remember... workspace (strange behavior)

Hi,

The "Remember" menus operate using the instance name of an application. 
For the mozilla.org products, this tends to be "Gecko" for all of 
them (though it may be fixed in newer versions (or just the Gentoo 
version):

$ xprop WM_CLASS
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Gecko", "Firefox-bin"

So you need to change the apps file to match on the second bit (class 
name) instead.

Edit ~/.fluxbox/apps. They'll both look like this, with different values 
for N:

[app] (Gecko)
   [Workspace]  {N}
[end]

Change it to match on the class, so you'll end up with something like:
[app] (class=Firefox-bin)
   [Workspace] {1}
[end]

[app] (class=Thunderbird-bin)
   [Workspace] {4}
[end]

Cheers,

  - Simon
