(tho they should all be directable with the $DISPLAY env variable). '-display :0.0' will make the window appear on screen 0 of display 0. if you want it to appear on another screen of the same display; use '-display :0.1' or the like. this is for when you have multiple monitors, that do not share a common desktop. (i.e. no xinerama; you can't drag windows between screens). It may work for different workspaces; I haven't run a machine with different workspaces for ages. note that there is a difference between workspaces and virtual desktops. workspaces are completely different areas; virtual desktops are just 'viewports' onto the same workspace. you can drag windows between virtual desktops; not between workspaces. (maybe I've got the terminology wrong; but you get the general idea). 'man X' for a good exposition on what X can do.
