Hi,
I have done something similar:
In my .xinitrc i have:

uxterm -T mutt -e mutt &
uxterm -T calcurse -e calcurse &
uxterm -T cmus -e cmus &

and in config.h you
can "sort" the program to the tag you want:

[...]
{ "xterm:*mutt", "E-Mail", False },
{ "xterm:*cmus", "Musik", False },
{ "xterm:*calcurse", "Kalender", False },
[...]

So everytime you start for example mutt, it is started on tag "E-Mail".

regards,
Michael
