black-eyed-dog,
One way to get the same effect without using a script is to add Terminal to your account's login items, as Ravelnze said, but specify that you want Terminal to run hidden.
Next time you log in, Terminal will start running, but no Terminal window will be visible. You even get the Terminal icon bouncing in the dock that you mentioned. When you click on the icon a window will appear.
If you are using Leopard, these are the steps -
- Log in as the user you want to change.
- Go to System Preferences. In the "System" section, select "Accounts".
- At the top of the right-hand side of the window, select "Login Items".
- Click the "+" sign near the bottom of the window to add an application.
- In the window that appears, navigate to Applications>Utilities and click on Terminal.app.
- Click the Add button.
- Terminal will appear in the list of applications. Click the check box in the "Hide" column.
Regards,
Davf

gdevilspie(1) General Commands Manual gdevilspie(1)
NAME
gdevilspie - Graphical interface to devilspie.
SYNOPSIS
gdevilspie
DESCRIPTION
gdevilspie gDevilspie is a graphical front-end to the devilspie daemon.
OPTIONS
Example: Adding File Manager (Nautilus) to Workspace 3, maximized horizontally.
Launch gDevilspie
Click on the Add button
Type in the name of your new rule
In the Matching Tab check the box for window_class and application_name.
Type File Manager in the equals box in the right pane of the Rules Editor for both
of the Matching Property items above.
An alternative way of producing the above would be to launch the application you wish to setup.
Click on the gDevilspie Get button, locate your application within the Window Selector box,
highlight it then click apply. This will populate the equals field for you.
Click the Actions Tab.
Check the set_workspace box and set the workspace to 3.
Click the maximize_horizontally check box.
Click Save.
Click Stop then Start on the gDevilspie main window for good measure.
Here is your output in the raw tab:
( if
( begin
( is ( window_class ) "File Manager" )
( is ( application_name ) "File Manager" )
)
( begin
( set_workspace 3 )
( maximize_horizontally )
( println "match" )
)
)
Using the example above you can configure gDevilspie to set your applications to run many different ways.
