[xmonad] Moving windows to a workspace based on their title / console applications in terminal emulators

[lobzang at free.fr]

Hi,

urxvt -name icq -e centerim
urxvt -name mail -e mutt

should do the trick ( assuming you update your xmonad window rules :
    , className =? "icq"           --> doF (W.shift "icq" )
    , className =? "mail"           --> doF (W.shift "mail" )
