In XMonad, how can I always give a certain window a specific floating position?

The title is pretty self-explanatory I think.

If a tiled, rather than floating, fixed window is acceptable check out XMonad.Layout.IM, which allows you to tie one window to the left-hand side of a workspace. If you prefer the right-hand side, you can reflect the layout with XMonad.Layout.Reflect

Tiled is even better. This looks like it will do exactly what I want, so I'm accepting even though I haven't had time to try it yet. – We Are All Monica Oct 03 '13 at 11:53
