Description Jan-Willem van de Meent 2010-03-13 14:51:02 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The autogroup windows by id is very useful for programs such as kwrite or okular -- where one may commonly have several instances open at the same time, which tends to clutter the desktop. 

However, what is a bit unintuitive is that if I happen to have a kwrite window open on another desktop, my new instance will not open on the desktop I'm working on, but instead be moved to the desktop of the previous instance so it can be grouped.

This behaviour seems a bit inconvenient to me, since it forces the user to go look for the new instance in other workspaces when it does not pop up on the desktop. The feature would be much more useful if windows on the same desktop were grouped, but instances on different desktops kept separate.

Comment 1 Gilboa Davara 2010-11-04 16:47:41 UTC

I partially negated this problem by setting custom role or application name to application that supported it. (hence, only a certain role or application name auto-grouped).

However, not all application poses this capability.
(To find out, start with --help-qt or --help-gtk)
