 Sorry for (extreme) late answer, but I think this won't be added. Xfce
 developpers advice is to use devil's pie to manage this. I'll forward
 this wish but don't expect too much.

Ok, I've forwarded this to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3890 but
still doesn't think it's a valid request. We'll see what upstream says.

As I didn't CC:ed you for my previous mail, I guess you never had it, sorry.

Cheers,

 Hi!
 
 I recently switched to xfce4-terminal and I really like it. However,
 other terminal emulators (like Eterm, what I used before) have a command
 line switch that makes the terminal window appear on a specific desktop.
 Eterm uses --desktop|-D N, where N is the desktop number,
 starting from zero.
 
 I guess this is not handled the same way by all window managers, but the
 Eterm parameter does a t least work with IceWM, Xfwm4 and Metacity, so I
 think it could be added to xfce4-terminal, too.

Bug#320189: xfce4-terminal: Please add --desktop parameter

Package: xfce4-terminal
Version: 0.2.4-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

I recently switched to xfce4-terminal and I really like it. However,
other terminal emulators (like Eterm, what I used before) have a command
line switch that makes the terminal window appear on a specific desktop.
Eterm uses --desktop|-D N, where N is the desktop number,
starting from zero.

I guess this is not handled the same way by all window managers, but the
Eterm parameter does a t least work with IceWM, Xfwm4 and Metacity, so I
think it could be added to xfce4-terminal, too.

Thanks for consideration,
Jochen.
