Make application always on visible workspace by default?

Question

I want my calculator to always appear on the visible workspace. Right now, I have to right click its title bar every time I open it and check the option, but I know earlier versions of Compiz allowed me to make this automatic for every instance of specified programs. Is there still a way to do this, and if so, how?

Install compizconfig-settings-manager if you haven't already.
Open CompizConfig Settings Manager and enable the Window Rules plugin:
In the Window Rules plugin, enter class=Gcalctool (If you are using a different calculator find out the class name by clicking the + button and then using the Grab feature).
Your calculator should now be visible on every workspace:

Is there an alternative way? It looks like 'compizconfig-settings-manager' does not play well with unity in 12.04... – Victor P. May 01 '12 at 07:27

This works with Unity in 13.04, although you have to install compiz-plugins for Window Rules to show up. – Raphael Jan 06 '14 at 11:51

There is no Window Ruler on CompizConfig Settings Manager 0.9.12.2 – SRachamim Aug 19 '16 at 19:02
@SRachamim You will need to install the plugins to have access to it: sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins – jackw11111 Jul 19 '19 at 03:57
