Here I attempt to first spawn and then catch the window by pid, but I
seem to l
The idea was to restart some programs after power cycling, not only
restart of awesome. So pid is out of the question.
Yes, I really would like to make a program open its window on the
desktop of my choice. But it seems impossible.

I think you can match with the pid. (
http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/api/modules/client.html#client has a field
called pid)
The pid will remain the same if you run your program via a script with exec
So you can make a wrapper script that generates the rules using its pid,

Yeah I've begun to understand the strangely complicated nature of this.
I just want to tell a program where it should open its window(s), and
not have to find and move it afterwards. Ideally from the outside, upon
launching, but it seems hard even from inside the program.

I will have a go with _NET_WM_DESKTOP. At first try however, nothing
happens. Try:
xprop -f _NET_WM_DES
