gdevilspie not working

Question

I'd like to always open the gedit application in workspace 3.

Environment: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and gedevilspie

How can I get the following simple code to work?

dinesh@ubuntu:~/.devilspie$ cat text.ds 
; generated_rule text
( if 
( begin 
( is ( application_name ) "gedit" )
) 
( begin 
( set_workspace 3 )
( println "match" )
)
)

Current Configuration

dinesh@ubuntu:~/.devilspie$ cat text.ds 
; generated_rule text
( if 
( begin 
( is ( application_name ) "gedit" )
) 
( begin 
( set_viewport 3 )
( println "match" )
)
)

Answer 1

Specify viewport instead of workspace.

( if 
( begin 
( is ( application_name ) "gedit" )
) 
( begin 
( set_viewport 3 )
( println "match" )
)
)
