Thanks for the tips.
I added ", NoGroupHints" to the Firefox line in database:
Style "Firefox-bin" Icon logos/Firefox, IgnoreConfig, NoGroupHints
That, unfortunately, had no effect. At the top of the file there appears
to be a catch-all line, so i added NoGroupHints to that:
Style "*" Icon interface.xpm, NoGroupHints
Now Firefox works as i expect it to; i can place windows on different
desktops without difficulty. The "terminal application" i use is
gnome-terminal. It doesn't have its own line in the AfterStep database,
but even adding NoGroupHints to the "*" line, the terminal still insists
on having all windows on 1 desktop. Is there something else i can try?
