[openbox] Workspaces and specific location launching

[Luciano ES]

I don't know if the window position can be passed through a single
shell command line. I don't think that's possible, but I'm not sure.

Did you send the message below to the group too? I suspect you only 
replied to me. I am sending a copy of this reply to the group now.
Maybe someone else knows.

Good luck.
