Autorun wrong workspace app spawn. #475

Closed scynthero closed 12 months ago

scynthero commented 3 years ago

So i have this part part of the config:

autorun = ws[1]:firefox autorun = ws[2]:alacritty autorun = ws[3]:discord autorun = ws[3]:obsidian autorun = ws[4]:signal-desktop autorun = ws[9]:spotify

And for some reason all apps are starting in workspace 1 is this a known bug or something? It is happening no matter when and if i set LD_PRELOAD. It looks a bit like if it was spawning apps where the mouse is.

@scynthero, have a look at the man page, more precise

It is advised to check the man page of ld.so as LD_PRELOAD is
sometimes ignored by some operating systems.  A workaround is
available, e.g. launch an xterm(1) in workspace 2:

  autorun = ws[2]:xterm -name ws2
  quirk[XTerm:ws2] = WS[2]

This worked for me
