Scripting apps to appear on different desktops

[Jorge Mataleo]

I'd like to be able to specify which of my virtual desktops an app appears
on, from a shell script/bash prompt- i.e. in "pseudo-script"

#!/bin/bash

set_desktop_3
nohup firefox &

...and if I ran the above from virtual desktop 1, the Firefox window would
appear on virtual desktop 3.

Possible with KDE?

Thanks,
Jorge

Hi,

Does that have to be done from a script? There is an easier
way to achieve this, assuming the command line is not a
necessity . You can assign applications to workspaces (among
other things) by going to advanced options of a given
instance of that application (open conext menu in title bar
to find it).
