IIUC, the question is: he starts an app while on desktop e.g., #4 and
switches to desktop e.g., #2. In the mean time the app becomes active
(it takes some time, like most modern GUI apps, unfortuantely). The
app now opens its windows on the current desktop, #2. OP wants it to
open its windows on the desktop where it was originally started.
