Sawfish.

This feature isn't managed by Sawfish but by the session manager from
Gnome. If you read your session file (~/.gnome/session) there is no option
to tell sawfish where to open a window.

Another problem, sawfish don't save the viewport/workspace when you do a
save position in a window.

But this is in the TODO list ;)
