I want my calculator to always appear on the visible workspace. Right now, I have to right click its title bar every time I open it and check the option, but I know earlier versions of Compiz allowed me to make this automatic for every instance of specified programs. Is there still a way to do this, and if so, how?
1 Answer
Install
compizconfig-settings-manager
if you haven't already.Open CompizConfig Settings Manager and enable the Window Rules plugin:
In the Window Rules plugin, enter
class=Gcalctool
(If you are using a different calculator find out the class name by clicking the + button and then using the Grab feature).Your calculator should now be visible on every workspace:

4Is there an alternative way? It looks like 'compizconfig-settings-manager' does not play well with unity in 12.04... May 1, 2012 at 7:27

2This works with Unity in 13.04, although you have to install
compiz-plugins
for Window Rules to show up.– RaphaelJan 6, 2014 at 11:51 -

@SRachamim You will need to install the plugins to have access to it:
sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins
