Commands for working with multiple workspaces

Hi there, first topic here, so I'm probably in the wrong place... Anyway,

I wanted to know if there's some way I can use shell commands to, for example, move an existing app window from a virtual workspace to another (by the way, I'm usind KDE in portuguese, so maybe 'workspace' is not the correct term, but I guess it's understandable anyway).
The idea is to write a shell script so I wouldn't had to move a window manually every single time I login to kde, but all and any info is greatly appreciated, so if somebody could drop a few lines or link about working with workspaces, I would greatly appreciate it. An expert user could always also post something in KDE Wiki too, for future reference.

Thanks in advance!

RE: Commands for working with multiple workspaces

You can probably do this with some DCOP calls. I don't know exactly which ones, but there are DCOP calls for pretty much everything else. You can browse the available interfaces with kdcop and execute them from a script with the 'dcop' command.

Well, took some time learning about DCOP now, and I think it works only with KDE applications, and I the ones I want to move to another virtual desktop aren't KDE apps.
Is there a way to do that with DCOP? Could anybody give me some directions? Or another, non-DCOP solution?

Well, just found out kde has a little nice app that's called kstart, that lets me indicate in which virtual desktop an window should appear.
Thanks anyway, friend. Hope this post helps somebody in the future...
