[PLUG] question on opening new Konsole Terminal on a specific virtual desktop

Hello:

I am using the KDE "konsole" command to open a new terminal screen in my 
bash program:

> konsole --separate --profile "Pop Up" --workdir 
> /home/owner/math/Herons -e /bin/bash ./list-xpart.sh 2>/dev/null &
where -separate means new terminal screen, using the profile named "Pop 
Up" with the working directory as specified, and executing the bash 
script list-xpart.sh dumping the error to the /dev/null file.

Referring to the manual at 
https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/konsole/konsole/konsole.pdf does NOT 
have anything on how to control which virtual desktop the new terminal 
screen opens up in. To my annoyance, when running the script in the 
background, the new screen pops up right in the active desktop blocking 
what I am doing at the moment.

Does anyone know how to control which desktop the new terminal screen 
will appear in? I have 8 virtual desktops on my OpenSuse Leap 15.5 linux 
system.

Randall
