Devil's Pie Graphical Editor

Thanks to Chris for pointing out gdevilspie to me, a graphical interface to writing Devil's Pie rule files. I've never used it so I can't comment on how well it works, but I'm very glad that someone finally wrote it!

Smells to me like a chance to offload maintainership :)

Hello. I am the gdevilspie author. I am so happy you like it :)

I wrote it to learn pyGTK and because I saw a lot of people were requesting a graphical interface to create devilspie rules.

I don't know much C beyond hacking and patching on the occasional program. But I am ready to learn :)

gDevilspie is great. It's delivering Devilspie power to the [noob] masses!

Hi, I just started using devil's pie and I'm loving it.

I thing there's something that would make it even much more useful. If it could trigger not only when an app starts, but also with other actions like a window getting focus.

I'd like to have some windows showing just part of it on the screen, and when they get the focus (with the mouse or ctrl+tab) the window could move to show itself entirely, then when the focus gets lost it would return to it's previous position.

And maybe also using a key combination (so windows could behave like quake terminals)

This could be a real killer app. Thanks for making it.
