That works usually, but ;-). On KDE, you need to use the kstart command, for 
example:

kstart --desktop 4 --activate xterm

This would start an xterm window on desktop 4 and it would make it active. 
For some help on the command, try:

kstart --help-all

Not sure what it would be for a gnome desktop, but I found this at the KDE 
FAQ, so the Gnome faq would probably have the answer.

HTH,
