Thanks for the tips. I've got a proper rule now,
{ rule = { class = "Houdini", instance = "MPlay" }, properties = {tag = tags[2][2]}}, Mplay does spawn on tag 2 of my second monitor, and it stays put for a breif period of time, but as soon as pixels are rendered it snaps back to my main monitor. Exactly the same behavior I was seeing with shifty. I suppose this is something I'll have to live with. It's a bit disappointing. >On Sat, Jul 24, 2010 at 04:08:39PM +0200, Vivian Brégier wrote: > I personally use the following function in my rc.lua, mapped to > [modkey][i].
