This is completely unsurprising to me because dwm doesn't know about the
application until a window gets created. Are there window managers that
do NOT behave this way with respect to workspaces? I can think of ways
you could work around this, but I wouldn't consider any of them low
hanging fruit. What do you have in mind to address this?
