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. Install compizconfig-settings-manager if you haven't already.

  2. Open CompizConfig Settings Manager and enable the Window Rules plugin:

  3. 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).

  4. Your calculator should now be visible on every workspace:

    Is there an alternative way? It looks like 'compizconfig-settings-manager' does not play well with unity in 12.04...

    This works with Unity in 13.04, although you have to install compiz-plugins for Window Rules to show up.

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