Feature Request - Launch an Application on a Specific Workspace

[rtcunningham1]

I do this manually by changing the command in the launcher to point to a shell script: nohup /path/to/files.sh. In the script, I use xdotool to move to the appropriate workspace and then launch the application. It's tedious.

I can see the utility of such a feature and would probably use it a great deal.

BTW, I don't know anything about xdotool, but the command wmctrl -s N where N is the workspace number (0 = workspace 1, etc.) might be simpler for changing workspaces. Wmctrl won't open a window, but it has options for moving an existing window to the desired workspace.
