Thanks for your response.

Won't this be global to all instances of the applications.  I am concerned
about pretty generic stuff.  
	4 xterms, each in particular positions (workspace 5)
	gnome-terminal, in a particular position (workspace 1)
	gqmpeg, various startup options (workspace 2)
	eterm, ditto (workspace 2)

You get the idea.  I tend to use a lot of xterm, eterms, etc.  They are
started all the time.  I don't want to pin them to a particular workspace
forever.
