CentOS - Sep 2008 - Startup programs in specific workspaces

I have a specific method of using my five GNOME workspaces to perform
certain categories of tasks when I log in on a machine, so I just had
a thought.

Is there a way to specify, say from a login script, for an application
to start up in a particular workspace, preferably with a specific
"screen" location?

Or is this a gnome question?

Thanks.

It's a GNOME question, but the answer is Devil's Pie.

I just did a google (highly recommended for all initial thoughts  :-)
for "gnome startup scripts". With a little refinement, it looks very
promising.
