Hi,

I am trying to force pidgin to open only on the "messages" tag. I am using this 
code:
["Pidgin"] = { screen = 1, tag = "messages" },
["Buddy List"] = { screen = 1, tag = "messages" },
but no matter what pidgin starts on the current tag :(

What am I doing wrong ?


How are your tags set up.

Even though I gave mine different names I still have to use the numbers to 
assign windows to them.
so I use
["Chats"] = { screen = 1, tag = 7 },
   ["Pidgin"] = { screen = 1, tag = 7 },

To get them where I want them to be.

The number should be the same as the Super + number you use to switch to that 
tag.

Cheers and hope that helps,
Sias

Hi,
Here's my config: http://pastebin.com/m915dbad

Conversations windows appears on the appropriate tag but the buddy list always shows up on the current tag whatever tag I set it up to in the config file:

apptags =
{
        ["Pidgin"]      = { screen = 1, tag = 5 },
        ["Buddy List"]  = { screen = 1, tag = 5 },
        ["Buddy"]       = { screen = 1, tag = 5 },
-- more stuff here
}

and then:

for tagnumber = 1, 5 do
    tags[s][tagnumber] = tag(tagnumber)
    -- Add tags to screen one by one
    tags[s][tagnumber].screen = s
    awful.layout.set(layouts[1], tags[s][tagnumber])
end
-- I'm sure you want to see at least one tag.
awful.layout.set(layouts[3], tags[s][4])
tags[s][1].selected = true

I don't know why but I have the funny feeling it's related to the pidgin notification icon. Maybe something like the firefox maximize quirk in another thread.
