Uh, then I need to find the mask (what is that exacly, do you mean the
class?) for each application that I have in the menus. Any idea how to
automate this by a script when I use eg. FVWM menus generated by external
tools.

It's quite simple: Under KDE when I start an application on a certain
desktop, say 2, and switch to another desktop, say 1, then, after being
loaded, the application will pop up on desktop 2 without interrupting me
working on desktop 1. Note that I'm not sure whether that holds true for
absolutely all application and, unfortunately, I can't check it since KDE
doesn't start anymore on my system (this might be due to some bugs in
XFree86 as part of SuSE 8.2).
