+A window-matching utility, inspired by Sawfish's "Matched Windows" option and
+the lack of the functionality in Metacity. Metacity lacking window matching is
+not a bad thing -- Metacity is a lean window manager, and window matching does
+not have to be a window manager task.
+
+Devil's Pie can be configured to detect windows as they are created, and match
+the window to a set of rules. If the window matches the rules, it can perform a
+series of actions on that window. For example, I make all windows created by
+X-Chat appear on all workspaces, and the main Gkrellm1 window does not appear
+in the pager or task list.
