Startup script for starting applications in certain workspaces and positions

  • 772

Since Ubuntu 11.04 has removed the session save feature, is it possible to write a script to open certain applications in specified workspaces and set their position? Please provide an example (for terminal, browser and etc.).

  2. You could do a script like

    #!/bin/sh
firefox & disown
gnome-terminal & disown

    and put that somewhere. Then go into Settings, there is some Startup Items menu. Just add your script and that should do.
