kstart5 not changing desktop

Trying to start an application on desktop 2 using kstart5 from kde-cli-tools in a bash wrapper file does not work anymore.

#!/bin/bash
test "$#" -lt 1 && exit 1
what="$1"
shift
kstart5 --desktop 2 -- ${what} "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1 
exit $?

Returncode of kstart5 is 0, although the screen does open on current desktop. Same behavior calling kstart5 directly on command line. Because I did call my script last time on 2021-10-15, I did downgrade a 2nd system step-by-step back to  2021-10-16.  Then Plasma 5.22.5-1 was running and kstart5 does change to desktop 2.
