[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#320189: xfce4-terminal: Please add --desktop parameter

[Jochen Schulz]

Package: xfce4-terminal
Version: 0.2.4-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

I recently switched to xfce4-terminal and I really like it. However,
other terminal emulators (like Eterm, what I used before) have a command
line switch that makes the terminal window appear on a specific desktop.
Eterm uses --desktop|-D <N>, where <N> is the desktop number,
starting from zero.

I guess this is not handled the same way by all window managers, but the
Eterm parameter does a t least work with IceWM, Xfwm4 and Metacity, so I
think it could be added to xfce4-terminal, too.

Thanks for consideration,
Jochen.
