Qt - raise window to current desktop/workspace on Linux DE
Preconditions: My Qt program (MainWindow) works on FIRST Linux desktop, and I work on SECOND.
Program invokes such piece of code:
mainWindow->raise();
What happens? My Desktop Environment switches to the FIRST desktop and shows main window on my app.
What I want to happen? Main window of my app is moved to the current (SECOND) desktop and shows here.
Is it possible with Qt and how?

Qt not support full Linux DE/WM environment. Virtual desktop is like not real virtual desktop.
This is complex question. I'll try explain (bad english).
Desktops and workspaces on Linux X Window System: https://www.circuitousroot.com/artifice/programming/useful/fvwm/viewports/index.html
Qt use xcb: https://xcb.freedesktop.org/
Here we have xcb connection: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qx11info.html#connection
This is hard way without other libraries: xcb, ICCCM, EWMH only...
I have this issue for my application, but later. I have only dirty tests on pure C, and it works.
You can try use (or look how to implement, I watched here) KWindowSystem: https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kwindowsystem/html/classKWindowSystem.html (which not have KDE dependencies!!!) but this class not have all functionality for all EWMH commands.
