On previous month some user ask question about console utility at dom0
to move new windows to special virtual desktop. I loss this info :(
Unfortunately, it's impossible to find this utility. As I remember the
name have four-five chars :)

And additional question, how to get the new created window ID from qvm-run ?

For KDE, there's kstart. For Xfce4, you'd have to install something, e.g., devilspie2.

I believe that some other tool available that work with Xfce4. And it's
already available at dom0. When this user wrote about it then I check
and it was there (at dom0 already installeted)

Yes, wmctrl :) thanks :)
It can show all windows `wmctrl 0l`, but how to get id of last window
opened with qvm-run to move it then to the specific desktop?

Looks like very old tool, but hope it work. xdotool not pre-installed
(maybe it's better?)

I don't know. Some idea is to run wmctrl before starting an application
and after. Then compare results.

xdotool is different - it's more about interacting with windows (mouse,
keyboard etc) than managing windows itself - but can do that too.
