[compiz] state plugin

[Kresimir Kukulj]

hi,

I saw that Mike Dransfield tried to port 'state' plugin from beryl.

What does it do? It should be able to place windows, based on name, 
class etc., to specific viewports. I recently converted to compiz window 
manager from WindowMaker (used it for 8 years), and I miss automatic 
'pinning' of specific windows to particular workspace (or viewport in 
this case).

Mike's old port can be found here:
http://www.anykeysoftware.co.uk/compiz/plugins/state.tar.gz

This is a bit old and does not use new plugin system for options 
(metadata). I am tyring to see if it could be tweaked to new plugin 
infrastructure, but it is not trivial (or at least not for me :)).

Can someone point me to some documentation so I could port this.
Or is this functionality already planned for compiz (or maybe someone 
already has functonal plugin?).

Regards

	Kresimir
