Thread: Starting an app (via the CLI) and having its window appear on "all desktops"




Starting an app (via the CLI) and having its window appear on "all desktops"

I'd like to be able to start an application (in this case, a
non-kde 
application--does it make a difference?) from the CLI and
have its window 
appear on all desktops (as in To Desktop -> All
Desktops).  Is there a way to 
do that?

Background: 
net_monitor, a Perl script written by some people at
Mandriva, leaks memory.  
In order to work around the problem, I want to kill
net_monitor once a day 
and then restart it with cron.  (BTW, that would be a root
cron as 
net_monitor runs as root.)  Also: When net_monitor is
started from the CLI, 
it does create a window for its display.

I'm currently using Mandriva2006 with kde 3.4.2, but if what
I want to do 
can't be done in this version but can be done in kde 3.5 or
4, I'd be 
interested in knowing that.
