Is there any way from the command line that I can open a GUI app on a specific desktop? - for instance open QSynth on Desktop 3 and Rosegarden on Desktop 4? (I'm using Kubuntu).

I'm not currently using KDE, so I'm not 100% sure, but kstart looks to be your solution.

Please see: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase/userguide/windows-how-to-work.html#advanced-window-management and http://huygens.ca.infn.it/cgi-bin/man/man2html?kstart+1
