Sounds pretty RTFM'ish to me. I don't think you have multiple desks. I
think you have a 2x2 virtual desktop with only one desk.

StartsOnDesk is for Starting on a different Desktop. To start on a
different page of the present Desk you will have to specify the geometry
of the window by adding multiples of your screen width/height to get it
where you want.

There was a talk of a StartsOnPage flag but I believe it's waiting on
the infamous "Great Style Flag Re-Write (tm)"
