However, neither of those gives me the answer I need!  :-)

I want to start (say) a copy of lxterminal on Desktop1, two copies of
lxterminal on desktop 2 and another copy on desktop 4.

The autostart system doesn't seem to allow me to specify different
desktops for specific instances of a program.  The second link would
mean that lxterminal will always start on the *same* desktop, definitely
not what I want.

A while ago I used to use the fvwm window manager and that had a nice
configuration script which, among other things, allowed one to start
instances of programs on specific desktops with a very simple and
straightforward syntax - even I could do it!  Why are such things so
difficult nowadays?
