It works for me.  Whatever desktop I start konsole on, the konsole window starts on that desktop.
Tried: panel icon, run and menu item.

bug 83607 says this should be fixed in 3.3

have you tried a more recent version?

I am currently running KDE-3.3.2 and still have the (very annoying) problem. 
Perhaps there is something in my .kde/share directory that might be 
influencing the behavior? Can you suggest what I might try to change/delete?

Thanks,

So if you are on desktop #3 and you start konsole, the konsole window always appears on desktop #1?  Are you using --profile= somehow?

Start konsole from another konsole terminal on desktop other than 1 and see if any output is printed.

There must be something missing... I wonder if there is a KDE/desktop configuration that does this...

The konsole always opens on the last desktop from which it resided.  That is, 
assume that I launch a konsole and move it to desktop 5. If I then go to 
desktop 1 and, from a preexisting konsole window on desktop 1, invoke 
konsole, it will launch onto desktop 5. The only message is that below:

spud:/games>konsole
kio (KSycoca): Trying to open ksycoca from /var/tmp/kdecache-smigel/ksycoca

Thanks,

Yikes.  I would suggest trying with a fresh $KDEHOME and see if that fixes it.

Example:  If using bash, put this in .bashrc
export KDEHOME=~/.kdehome-test

restart KDE and everything should be the 'default'.  Test out your problem.  It should be 'fixed'.

Comment out the above export line; restart.

mv $KDEHOME/share/config/session/konsole* ~/
mv $KDEHOME/share/config/konsolerc ~/
exit all konsole before logging out; log back in and test your problem.

Good luck!

Ok, I finally found the offending file, $KDEHOME/share/config/kwinrulesrc. FYI 
I have attached it. 

Thanks for your help,

No problem; that comes from Control Center->Desktop->Window-Specific?

It must have happened when I was having gaim problems such that everytime a 
gaim message came in, the desktop switched to the one running gaim. Very 
distracting! I made some window manager changes to try to stop this from 
happening and must have done something that caused this problem.

Hi,

FYI I had a very similar problem with Konsole with KDE 3.4.2 on SUSE Pro 10.0

The above gave me enough info to solve the problem and I thought I would add my experience for the next person who like me stumbles here via Google.

I like to keep multiple Konsoles running and I've set them up so Konsoles running in different desktops have different Bash command line history files, and the like. I leave them running when I log off, and expect them to start up exactly the same as I left them when I log back on. Instead all the instances of konsole started in the same desktop, and I had to move them to the correct desktops one by one:(

The fix was to go to Control Center->Desktop->Window-Specific Settings. I had a single setting for Konsole (I can't remember why, I fool around a lot). Modifying that, I selected the Geometry tab, set Desktop to "Do Not Affect", then deselected the Desktop setting entirely. That fixed it.
