Comment 2 for bug 726431

thanks, no, I don't plan to work on it, I'm just interested in the feature, particularly for window placement (I'm less interested in resumption of state within the application).

At the current time, I know of no way in Ubuntu 11.04 to have applications startup automatically upon login and appear at specified Compiz viewports. Devilspie apparently can only send windows to the first row of Compiz viewports ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devilspie/+bug/380880 ), and Compiz's Place Windows feature only works sporadically on windows created by Startup Applications ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/727098 ).
