You have a Terminal icon in the panel?  How did you place it there?

I didn't have one, so I went to the menu and right-clicked on konsole
and selected "Add to panel".  When I select a desktop from the pager and
then click on the newly created Terminal icon it always brings up the
terminal in the current desktop.
