wmctrl -r <WIN> -t <DESK>   Move the window to the specified desktop.

note: you should check the number of desktops before using: wmctrl -d
if it just one then you can add by using: wmctrl -n 2 (or more)
to switch to another desktop use: wmctrl -s 1 (or another)

for more info see: man wmctrl

hope that helped,
