So how do you remember window attributes like size, position, desktop, zone (and a dozen others) in e17? Due to the way most GTK/QT applications set their window properties – it makes it quiet difficult to differentiate between child windows. For example, the gaim buddy window and the IM window. A normal “remember” will remember both these windows as being equal.
In e17, you can use the “xprop” (part of Xorg) to get every possible property of a window and use any of these as the “remember” attribute. This works really well on terminals, browser windows etc. I can now do funky things like ensure that the IM window for a buddy always lands on desktop 1 while IM window for buddy X lands on dektop 2.
Too much power is a pain though! 🙂
