I would like to have Skype appear in Workspace 4 only, but sill have its Panel icon showing in all workspaces.

Skype can have several sub-windows, and I want to contain them all to Workspace 4...

The Skype's Panel icon is only in the Panel when Skype is running, so there may be two sides to this...

  • starting Skype's main window for the first time via the Main Menu
  • re-displaying the hidden Skype main-window by clicking the Panel icon

You could use devilspie Install devilspie to make all subwindows open in a particular workspace. This is a relatively easy application to use. As for the second half of the question, I don't have an answer.

It looks interesting... I've downloaded a GUI for it, but can't get it to work... (its too late here.... I'll look again in the morning...) – Peter.O Nov 6 '10 at 14:35
