I hate replying to my own post but I have partially solved this issue. 
I found the first part of my answer in the archives
http://varmint.moongroup.com/pipermail/xfce/2003-November/006619.html 
(thanks  Biju and Michael)

Now I have created the following script in ~/Desktop/Autostart/:

#!/bin/bash

#
# Auto start script
#

KSTART=`which kstart`
weather=`which wmweather`

$KSTART --window 'MOZ' --desktop 2 mozilla &
$KSTART --window 'AMSN' --desktop 10 /opt/msn/amsn &
$KSTART --window 'weather' --desktop 1 $weather -station KLBB -W &
$KSTART --window 'kshowmail' --desktop 2 kshowmail &
$KSTART --window 'gkrellm' --desktop 5 gkrellm &
$KSTART --window 'ops' --desktop 1 konsole &
$KSTART --window 'jedit' --desktop 12 jedit -background &
$KSTART --window 'xffm' --desktop 21 xffm &
$KSTART --window 'grip' --desktop 6 grip &

-----End Script -----

Everything appears to start fine except not on the right desktop (i.e. 
workspace).  Everything started on workspace 1 instead of where 
specified (except xffm).  Is there something wrong with my script?  Did 
I leave something out?

TIA,
D.
