Re: feature request

Hi,

with wdread/wdwrite it is possible to read/write the option StartWorkspace. 
This option controls on which Workspace an application is started. 

You can (temporarily) set the StartWorkspace option for Gimp to 2 if you write 
a script that contains the following commands:
1. Save the old settings for Gimp: 
    OLD=`wdread WMWindowAttributes Gimp`
2. Set the Workspace for Gimp to 2 (2 is the name of the Workspace):
    wdwrite WMWindowAttributes Gimp '{StartWorkspace=2;}'
3. execute gimp
    gimp
4. Then restore the old settings for Gimp with 
     wdwrite WMWindowAttributes Gimp "$OLD"
Execute the last command, when starting gimp is finished (maybe a 
sleep-command between steps 3 and 4).
