Tell your windows to always open in the same place
One nice feature in compiz is the Place Window feature. It will force applications to always open on the same workspace at the specified coordinates.
Open ccsm > Filter by “place” > click Place Windows > Fix Window Placment tab > New > + > > Grab (for window class) > click anywhere in the target app’s windows, except the window decoration > choose something like 200 for the x position and 0 for the y.
You an also determine the “class” of your window with this command:
$ xprop WM_CLASS | cut -d\" -f4> source: compiz wiki
