I use x11grab for this https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html#x11grab I don't think that you can select a specific window or desktop, but you can select a region. I use a dual-monitor setup and record from the one monitor and use the other for off-screen work. I have also used a single monitor, with a split screen, to do the same thing. If you really need to work on a separate (virtual) desktop, then I guess you could simulate this by running two separate X11 displays and recording one of them.
