At session start several applications each in its desktop through following script :

#! /bin/sh
cd
sleep 3
emacs --daemon
ssh-add < /dev/null

kstart5  --desktop 3 --windowclass thunderbird /usr/local/bin/thunderbird
kstart5  --desktop 1 --window "Mozilla.*" firefox -geometry -0-0
kstart5  --desktop 1 --type Normal --windowclass Konsole konsole
kstart5  --desktop 7 --windowclass signal signal-desktop

Since upgrade to 5.23 everything starts on desktop 3...

Confirmed that the --desktop options does not really work.
Can be tested by adding a second virtual desktop and starting whatever
program with
	kstart5 --desktop 2 --windowclass foobarbaz konsole
etc.

Needs to go upstream I guess.
