workspace affinity

[tmetro-blu-5a1Jt6qxUNc at public.gmane.org (Tom Metro)]

When a session gets restored in GNOME, applications seem to have no
recollection of what workspace they were on. Given that applications
save their own state, I would expect this capability to vary depending
on whether the application implements recording that information. I
thought at one time that Firefox remembered this, but that doesn't seem
to be the case any more.

So after starting up a GNOME session, I have to manually place windows.
I also need to set the "Always on visible workspace" attribute on
several windows.

Is there a trick to getting this to work in GNOME? A different window
manager that handles this better?

How about a separate tool to force placement of windows that are
launched from a script? (I believe this exists, but I don't recall what
the tool was called.)
