Place windows plugin usage

[unabatedshagie]

I hope this is the right section for this question.

I'm running dual monitors and would like pidgin to open up at the right hand side of the second monitor every time I start it.

I was hoping that this plugin would allow me to do this.

Using the information from here (http://wiki.opencompositing.org/WindowMatching#head-362902678f93638651213d4b03a58ed2e4cb3421) I have found out the class name and role of the buddy list of pidgin.

class=pidgin & role=buddy_list and for the positions I just had it initially set to x & y = 0 just so I could test if it was working.

I restarted pidgin but no matter what I set the x & y co-ordinates to the buddy list always opens in the same location.

Am I doing something wrong, am I using the correct plugin?

Yes, you are, but pidgin is placing its window itself, so the initial placement done by the place plugin is overwritten. The reasoning for that is probably a question for the pidgin devs.

Fun i have the exact same wish (to have pidigin on the right side of my right monitor) just never wrote a wish for it :P
