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

[American Citizen]

Nat:

Initially this property addition affected all new instances of konsole 
on the bash script command.

A bit more reading showed that I could localize on the pop-up profile 
and window created under the bash script and force the KDE windows to 
look for a specific window title, in my case "--Konsole" and make an 
exact match, to force the viritual Desktop #1 to be applied to this and 
only this new pop-up window.

Now all I need is to automate the particular desktop, say 1 --> 8 or use 
0 to splash all desktops, by detecting which desktop I initiate the bash 
script in.

The best solution would be to add to the KDE konsole command the 
--desktop #n option, and I might ask that that be done.

Thanks for all your posts.
