As the OP implied, some of us like to start a session with a set of windows preloaded on specific desktops (and even in tabs in those windows). Can the FN+FX technique deal with this?
I don't know what "tabs in those window" means.
But my requirements are rather simple. I have 6 desktops and 2 screens. Using the "Windows Rules" I've defined a set of rules for my commonly used applications so when they are started the will be placed on the desktop and screen and size and coordinates I want them.
I've then defined a bunch of FN+FX key shortcuts to start those applications with the options I want. For example, the key to start konsole will start it with the option --tabs-from-file.
Yes, I start with an empty desktop and do have to hit a few key to get started. But for me it is OK since I may not want to initially start all the applications I have defined shortcuts.
