Make window pop up in original desktop

Hello,
Is there a way to force each window to popup in the original desktop when using multiple desktops?

The problem is I work on one desktop, then move to another one, and some windows that are loaded in the original desktop pops at the new desktop.

Any idea?

Thanks!

Guy

for thoses interested , with devil spie (use google) I could manage to force specific application windows to pop up in the wanted workspace,
in the ~/.devilspie folder I crested a pidgin.ds file :
Code:
(if
    (is (application_name) "Pidgin") 
    (begin
    (set_workspace 2)
    (minimize)
    )
)

it forces pidgin windows to pop up in the 2nd workspace

I don't know well this application but I've seen we can set rules ... so I think there is way to make all windows of every applications pop in a same workspce Smilie
