kstart <app> --desktop <desktop-number>

see also kstart --help

But I can't get the --desktop argument to work here somehow. It just makes 
kstart seem to hang. Is kstart broken??? Has Lubos' changed startup 
notification anything to do with this?

Anyway, this should do it and I'm wondering why it doesn't...
