[Gllug] Starting application on specific desktop (KDE)

[Junior Williamson]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi Wulf,

have you tried

	kstart --desktop 2 konsole

This will open a konsole session on desktop 2 ( I assume you are using KDE 
3.xx).

	kstart --help-all

will show all the command line options for kstart


Regards

Junior
