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

[Nat Taylor]

open up Konsole, right click on the title bar, select More Actions -
Configure Special Application Settings.
Then click Add Property, scroll down to Virtual Desktops, then click plu s,
then select Desktop 2 (or whichever you prefer)
Then click Apply
Now everytime you launch Konsole, be it from command line or icon, it will
appear on Desktop 2.
Now, perhaps there's a way to fine tune the Window Rules in System Settings
to make it just do it from your script, but that's beyond the scope of this
particular answer.
And I'm assuming you're using KDE as you're using Konsole (Dunno how that
would work in LXQT)
