The snippet I quoted when I replied is the one that works for me. As
Dana said the query thing is only in 3.6 as well, so 3.5.2 will just
see an If action with an empty set of conditions which is presumably
always true.

Yes, it worked fine, the terminal moved between the current desktop
and desktop 10. ForEach is not specifically designed for this use
case, but rather to be as general as possible. Eg, if you had two
terminals they would both move in this way. (This is what the Stop
action is somewhat for). I use it for example for moving every window
21 pixels up and 1 to the left (useful after openbox crashes, which
does happen sometimes during development), resizing all gimp image
windows to a specific size, etc.

Feel free to try the work branch from my git repo, we're more or less
ready to release an -rc from it, we've just been lazy.
