thanks rick, the pointer was really useful and got me headed
in the right direction.
i use KDE, so the kstart solution works for me. i only asked
about gnome because i thought maybe it was possible
to tell the application itself (rather than an application
starter like kstart) which desktop to display itself in.
as it happens, the solution given there doesn't work for me, the doc
might be wrong, or maybe they're documenting an older (or a newer :)
KDE.
6.6. How do I launch applications in a particular desktop?
KDE comes with a program called kstart.
To start Mozilla on the second desktop and then activate it use:
kstart "netscape" -desktop 2 -activate.
on my computer, i need to put the command ("netscape") last because
otherwise kstart thinks the params are arguments to netscape and not
to kstart. also, we need to use -- not -.
e.g.,
kstart --desktop 3 "licq"
will start licq in desktop 3 but we don't switch current desktop to
desktop 3.
to make the current desktop switch to desktop 3, add the --activate
parameter before the command.
