Disclaimer:  I'm a Window Maker kind of guy, and have never dealt with
this sort of thing.

This may help for KDE/kwm:
http://www.kde.org/documentation/faq/desktop.html

As to GNOME, unlike the case with KDE, there's no standard default
window manager (http://www.labs.redhat.com/gug/users-guide/wm.html), 
and so I would think how you "specify a desktop", or even whether there
are multiple desktops at all, would probably depend on the window
manager.  But I could be wrong.
