I have many things (most, editors and terminals) I do not start at login

pager, perfmeter etc.  ... there is even a network monitor I start at 
login but I dismiss soon)

No, sorry, I was not clear. It is the browser which goes straight to the 
desktop designated, but I remain in the primary desktop ! Which I guess

I knew about it but it's a long long time since I felt the need to use it.
