[openbox] Is there some sort of session management?

[J. Shinall]

Devil's Pie is a handy tool. However, if you're only in search of window
positioning, layering, desktop selection, etc., you may want to use
'wmctrl'. You execute it each time you need it, as opposed to having
another service always running resident on the system (i.e. Devil's
Pie). If 'wmctrl' won't suit your needs, then use Devil's Pie. Just make
sure you look into 'wmctrl'.
