I'm not sure I understand your term `desktop' very well.
However, if you mean different DISPLAY, emacsclient is
capable to open a new frame on new display, AFAIK.
Something like this will do,

emacsclient -e "(make-frame-on-display \"$DISPLAY\")"

But if you mean the Desktop in FVWM2, you might just use the
command provided by our powerful window manager.  Bind

All ("emacs") MoveToDesk

or similar to some keys you like in FVWM2, and you can feel
it.
