Is there a way, while starting a program, to tell it which desktop to appear on (before it opens its window)?
I looked at the various Window-specific settings (right-click the mini-icon in the menu bar), and there's lots of things that can be set there, but not the desktop. I also looked at kdcop for several kinds of windows, but if there's something in there, I can't recognize it.
One feature I've always wanted is for whatever I click on to come up IN THE DESKTOP WHERE I DID THE CLICK. Too often I click on a browser and move to another desktop for some different purpose, only to have the browser open up on top of what I'm doing. It shouldn't even be considered a feature. It should be A Given.

Yes, I find that irritating too. Some applications actually work the way we would like them to, but most don't.

Open the app or dialog (window),
right click on the boarder,
go to advanced, then
Special applications setting (for the app).
For a dialog (windows) setting choose special windows settings.
choose geometry to choose desktop for either the app or app dialog.
Hope this helps.
