I use a script like this:-

f#!/bin/sh
set -e

kcpuload&
kstart --desktop 5 konqueror http://linuxtoday.com
kstart --desktop 8 knode
kstart --desktop 7 kmail
kstart --desktop 6 /home/david/bin/notes

# should be wait for dcop to be available?
dcop kmail KMailIface checkMail

<<<<
but it does not quite work.  For some reason konqueror only very rarely
starts on desktop 5, it normally starts on the same desktop as I ran the
script from.  All other apps work well, but on neither kde 2.2 or 3.1
does konqueror normally honour the desktop number.

Hope this helps (and that one day konqueror will behave)
