Yep, this works perfectly, I just tested it =)
So it will be possible to start xterm with:

xterm -name workspace1

and put something like below in the resource file
bbappconf.1.appName:    workspace1
bbappconf.1.Stick:      false
bbappconf.1.Decorless:  false
bbappconf.1.startOnDesktop: 1

and all xterm with name workspace1 would start on workspace 1.
 
As soon as I have something useable I'll put a "peak" version on the
bbtools website.
