xfstart mentioned in the wish list...

Browsing the xfce website, I took a look at the 'Wish List'.  One item 
was mentioned which caught my attention -- the "xfstart" request in the 
"new modules" section.  The reason this caught my attention is because 
I've wanted to automate the startup of applications on my Xfce desktop. 
  For example, start firefox on desktops 2,3, and 4, xmms on desktop 4, 
etc.  The info. about setting application startup in the 
'Desktop/Autostart' file is useful, however, the applications are dumped 
on the currently viewed desktop -- and I've got to manually move them 
around (a rather tedious task).  I thought about poking around the Xfce 
code to see about adding the functionality to start up applications on a 
specified desktop.  However, it looks like someone's already turned 
their attention to this.  So, *is* there a xfstart app?  Thanx.
