You can do something similar with a function, but you have to
modify the function for each window. First start mutt in a window
with an appropriate window title, e.g.
xterm -T mutt -e mutt
Then, use this function to switch desks:
AddToFunc MyGotoDesk
+ I GotoDesk $*
+ I All (mutt) MoveToDesk
Then use
MyGotoDesk +1 0 1
instead of GotoDesk everywhere. This does not look very nice
since the mutt window is unmapped and then mapped again when
switching desks, but it works anyway.
