Devil's Pie Tutorial
On Xlife there is a brief tutorial on Devil's Pie. I should merge it into the README and add a reference for the actions at some point, but it's a good start.

There's also a pretty nice reference for it at http://wiki.foosel.net/linux/devilspie .

how about adding
net_wm_set_property(window, "_NET_WM_STATE_STAYS_ON_TOP", always);
somewhere, to make xmms on top?

Hi all, I don't know if this is a bug or what, but when I run devilspie in debug mode on my laptop (1280x800 screen size) I get wrong geometries of windows.
Window Title: 'Ross Burton - Mozilla Firefox'; Application Name: 'Firefox'; Class: 'Firefox-bin'; Geometry: 1024x723+105+48
Window Title: 'Desktop'; Application Name: 'File Manager'; Class: 'Nautilus'; Geometry: 1280x800+0+0
Window Title: 'Top Panel'; Application Name: 'Top Panel'; Class: 'Gnome-panel'; Geometry: 1280x24+0+0
Window Title: 'Bottom Panel'; Application Name: 'Bottom Panel'; Class: 'Gnome-panel'; Geometry: 1280x24+0+776
Desktop and panels are corret, but if you look at firefox (see screenshot here http://www.geocities.com/zasfz/aste/Schermata.png) you will notice that even if the windows is just above top panel, devilspie says it at 48 y offset.. height is also wrong.. anyone noticed? Thank you

whoops i overlooked the layer options
<flurb name="BMP on top">
<matchers>
<matcher name="DevilsPieMatcherWindowName">
<property name="application_name" value="Beep Media Player"/>
</matcher>
</matchers>
<actions>
<action name="DevilsPieActionLayer">
<property name="above" value="TRUE"/>
</action>
</actions>
</flurb>
