Fluxbox opens app in wrong workspace

[sillysloft]

Hey; i did a lil searching around and didn't find my problem, so if this has already been reported, sorry in advance.

The problem is this: I open up a terminal in, say, workspace1. I type 'gimp' and the splash screen comes up. That works fine, we're still in workspace1. But before gimp finishes loading, i switch to workspace2. suddenly, i get all the windows spawned from the gimp app that was started in workspace1.

It seems that applications, if they're in the process of loading, will reset themselves to whatever workspace you are in when they finish loading.

Here's the output of my aptitude show fluxbox. Package: fluxbox New: yes State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 1.0.0+deb1-8 Priority: optional Section: universe/x11 Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com> Uncompressed Size: 3670k Depends: menu (>= 2.1.19), libc6 (>= 2.4), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.4.0), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0), libimlib2, libsm6, libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1), libx11-6, libxext6, libxft2 (> 2.1.1), libxinerama1, libxpm4, libxrandr2, libxrender1 Suggests: fluxconf, fbpager, fbdesk Provides: x-window-manager Description: Highly configurable and low resource X11 Window manager Fairly similar to blackbox, from which it is derived, but has been extended with features such as pwm-style window tabs, configurable key bindings, toolbar, and an iconbar.

There's nothing we can do about this. Fluxbox doesn't know when or where you type a command. It only knows when the window opens.
