Screenlets do not re-open on the same desktop

[Guy]

With screenlets-manager open, I will place three screenlets on my second desktop. I have 'Stick to Desktop' unclicked, since I only want them on screen two. When I restart, they will generate on screen one again. If they are stuck to only one desktop, it matters which desktop they open on.

This is not exactly a bug, because for now the screenlets simply not remember on which desktop they were started. It was always up to discussion if it isn't instead the window manager's job to set preferred positions on certain windows (especially since we never can safely assume multiple desktops to exist). But I'll add this to the wishlist, since I agree that this is a required improvement and it can't hurt to have the screenlets remember their workspace/desktop number.

You can use gDevilsspie/Devilspie to partly fix it, creating a rule for your Screenlet like this:

( if
( begin
( contains ( application_name ) "Screenlet.py" )
)
( begin
( set_viewport 3 )
( println "match" )
)
)

However, it does not work when Screenlets are cloned from a service, if I unerstand it correctly. And you can always make a Screenlet "Sticky" in order to make it appear on all workspaces.
