X and Fluxbox :: Fluxbox keybinding not loading

In this instance it is OK that I wouldn't get an 8 typed into an application because this is just the computer for the car with just a numpad to control it and so far xmms is the only app. I set it up with the main window on workspace 1, the eq on the next, and the playlist on the 3rd. I mapped a key for nextworkspace and everything is perfect...almost. When I close and reopen xmms everything is back on the same workspace. Is it possible to get the componants to appear on separate workspaces?

You'd need fluxbox-dev in order to do that. It utilizes a file called 'apps' which allows you to specify per-application settings, one of which is the workspace on which a particular application is launched.

//EDIT
I just realized what you meant...
I don't know of any way to do that with Fluxbox, but I know Ion will do it. The default configuration in Ion loads each part of Xmms into a separate window, which could easily be separate workspaces.

Is it possible to modify the key bindiings and save them in some way so that we have them available from the live CD itself WITHOUT the need to depend on any other storage device?

If we copy the .fluxbox directory to the root partition and burn, and add a script too the root partition at the same time, and then, after booting run the script to paste these to the appropriate areas overwriting the default directories..................

Possible?

You can build an extension for your fluxbox configs and put that in the root of your CD. No script needed.

My CD is built with a backups extension in its root. It contains few applications in /opt and all my configs in /home/dsl (with paths and file ownerships intact). When I boot it up, the extension is automatically loaded and everything is put in place.

So now I have found xmms-shell, with that I can map everything that I need. One problem left. My screen will be only 7 " so the best display that I could have would be to have each of the 3 componants of xmms on it's own workspace. I can't seem to do it directly. Also since the xmms windows will not play with tabs even when window decoration is set to on, tabbing through them is not an option. I was thinking about a script to load xmms with. First let me say that I have never written a script before but this one does not sound too bad. You know how you can right click the window title bar and send it to a different workspace? Can this be done in a startup script? Pseudo like this:
xmms -p
xmms Equalizer send to workspace2
xmms Playlist send to workspace3
Can this be done?
