Multiple terminal windows on multiple views in Subtle WM?
Apologies if this has already been answered somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
I'm using the Subtle WM, and I really love it's use of gravities and tags to position windows. The only problem I've run into is when I have multiple copies of the same program/window open, and want them placed on different views.
If I have urxvt tagged to go to a particular view, then all of my urxvt terminal windows will open on that view. But I often like to have terminals open on different views for different purposes, depending on what I'm doing in that view.
I tried tagging urxvt on multiple views, but that didn't work. Is there a way to accomplish this in Subtle?

Any ideas? Does anyone still use Subtle? Is there another WM that uses gravities like Subtle does?

I've never used subtle, but I suspect it identifies client windows (for putting them on selected tags) by their resource name/class. You can easily set these when you start urxvt (e.g. with the -name flag) so you can have different resource names for different urxvt windows.
