i3: Help auto-moving Qubes Manager to another Workspace (assign [class=...)

[One7two99]

Hello,

I'm trying to move my Qubes Manager automatically to workspace 10 in i3.

I've added the following lines in my ~/.config/i3/config

assign [class="win7"] $workspace3

which will move my windows HVM after starting it to my workspace3.

I've tried to use the same method to move Qubes Manager:

assign [class="qubes-manager"] $workspace3

But it doesn't work, Qubes Manager will always stay on the current workspace I am using or on workspace 1 after login.

I've used xprop and clicked on the Qubes Manager windows (not the outer window border) and got the following information:

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "qubes-manager", "Qubes-manager"

Why are other windows moved to a workspace with the assign setting in i3,  but not the qubes-manager window?

in total:
