Are you sure of that? R-2.7.2 is the most recent.

Your question is one relating to your window manager.  The display
parameter for x11() does not relate to desktops.  All the desktops are
part of the same display.  Some very clever R-devel people might be
able to think of a way of making a specific X call to achieve what you
want, but it seems unlikely to me that it could be make to work with
more than one window manager.

It's very simple in KDE to set up keyboard shortcuts to move a window
to a specific desktop.
