Ah, ok, I didn't know you're new to the mailinglist or bug reporting
concept in general. If there's one thing that is important for bug
reports: Always provide useful logs and other relevant information, so
others can try to reproduce your problems.

For explanations of the most important (if not all) abbreviations (like
AFAIK, which means "as far as I know"), see

  http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Abk%C3%BCrzungen_(Netzjargon)

for example. Most of them are useless, but some (like AFAIK, AFAICS,
IMHO) are used frequently by most of us lazy guys.

I tested it with exactly the same setup as you have - it works here.
Now it would be interesting which version of devilspie you have on your
system. And maybe Olivier, who wrote/maintains Xfwm4, has ideas.

Now that you posted additional information, it's uselessness is kinda
compensated. Don't mind. BTW, there's another important thing about
mailinglists: Always quote below paragraphs you're commenting on (just
as I did in this mail).
