Any way to Programmatically change to specific work areas?

I have 11 work areas to keep things straight (web forums, personal projects, etc, etc). I like hibernation, because it restores every thing. What I dread is a real reboot when updating a kernel, or whatever. Then I have to go and re-start a whole bunch of spreadsheets and browsers. Yes, I've read http://www.icewm.org/FAQ/IceWM-FAQ-6.html#ss6.4 It doesn't help. It can start *DIFFERENT PROGRAMS* in different workspaces, but it's useless for *MULTIPLE INSTANCES* of the same program. E.g. I want... /usr/bin/seamonkey -new-instance -P google /usr/bin/seamonkey -new-instance -P graphs /usr/bin/seamonkey -new-instance -P snow /usr/bin/seamonkey -new-instance -P youtube to show up, one each in 4 different workspaces. And also stuff like... /usr/bin/gnumeric foo.gnumeric /usr/bin/gnumeric bar.gnumeric to show up in 2 different workspaces. Any ideas? -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
