Well basically all you have to do is change desk, and then start an app.
You can create a Function in your Feel file to do just that :


Function "Start_My_App_on_desk"
     ChangeDesk  0 <desired desk number>
     Exec "app"  <your app command line> &
EndFunction

Then you can either bind it to  key or mouse event like so :

Key F1   A     M    Function "Start_My_App_on_desk"

will execute the function on Meta+F1.

You can also use it in the menu. With development version of AfterStep you
should also be able to execute it from the Wharf.
