thanks for the answers. Yes, I was aware of that option, and I allready wor=
ked=20
with that arrangement. But I think It would be nicer to have something like=
 a=20
3x3 or 4x4 grid, or a grid to a costumable size.=20
To do this I need to have something like an "switch to the next 4=20
workspace"-option, or a program witch tells windowmaker to switch the=20
workspaces so I can set keybindings to it.=20
So I need to figure out how you can tell windowmaker to switch to a certain=
=20
workspace in a little c-program. =20
I looked at the wmpager source, and I think he did it by sending an XEvent=
=20
(see code snippet 1 down). I am not that familiar with XEvents, but I tried=
=20
to use this method to write my one program, to beginn with it should only=20
jump to the first workspace. (see code snippet 2). It compiles, runs, and=20
does nothing (well, it sends an XEvent wich is ignored). =20
So, if anyone has suggestions on either how to fix my program to do wath I=
=20
want or knows another methode to switch workspaces via a c-programm, I woul=
d=20
be happy for suggestions.=20
If not  than thanks for the answers so far, and I will keep on using a 2x10=
=20
grid via the method kindly described by Charles.
