[openbox] How to maximize,undecorate window once?

[James Stortz]

Thanks.

Each application instance has to be launched automatically. I'm launching 4
web browsers at startup and they need to each be on their own desktop
workspace.

After that, I want the browser to launch as normal.

I thought I just had a way to do it, a simple little trick, but not
working!

mv /usr/bin/midori /usr/bin/midori.1
midori.1 -c cfg &

mv /usr/bin/midori.1 /usr/bin/midori.2
midori.2 -c cfg &

mv /usr/bin/midori.2 /usr/bin/midori

That will change the WM_CLASS to midori.1 and midori.2. Actually kinda
cool. Thought it would work, but again it's too fast. Didn't want to use
sleep, but even when I tried that it oddly set both to midori.1, even
though it was called with midori.2!
