[Gllug] Starting application on specific desktop (KDE)

Every morning I log into my main machine at work and run a script I
wrote called 'goodmorning', which fires up a selection of applications
(Konsole, Firebird and GKrellM). I've got four desktops in my KDE setup
and the applications all pop up on the one I am looking at (#1).

Habitually, I keep Firebird and GKrellM on desktop #1 and move Konsole
to #2. Is there any way to enhance the script so that as well as
starting the applications I can also target them to specific desktops?

I know about the geometry switch to specify size and starting
co-ordinates but, despite some searching around on my local system, the
KDE site and Google, I can't find any clue about how to target them with
more precision.
