Thank you for all your response.

The problem is, when you must open more then 2 or 3 applications, you must
arrange them on the workspaces.
This time i work with 8 screens (and i think in future it will be 10) 
and it seems easier for me, when the browser and the mailprogram opens 
on a specific screen, and eclipse and the j2ee-dokumentation on 2 other 
screens.

i think it will be an nice feature wenn the launcher-script has an 
option, where you can adjust, that this programm will start on screen 5 
(like my eclipse).

This time i start it, an then drag it to the other screen. then i start 
tomcat, and drag it to another screen, then i start ..... (and so on).

Is there a gtk-option where you can adjust something like this ?


Best Regards

Andreas
