Other options: hold the Alt key and click the window.  Click the
window's thumbnail in the pager.  Program keyboard shortcuts.

Search the mailing lists and you'll find a very detailed explanation (I
think from Havoc) why this is the way it is.

Metacity has a wonderful Kiosk mode (Toggle Full Screen) if you program
the keyboard shortcut for it.  Focus a window, hit the keyboard
shortcut, and that window is given the entire screen.  Yes, I know,
that's probably not what you want.

For moving Windows between workspaces you can drag and drop windows
between workspaces in the pager.  There are also keyboard shortcuts to
switch to desktops, move focused windows between desktops, show windows
on all desktops, etc.

Main Menu -> Preferences -> (More Preferences ->) Sessions

Select the Current Session tab.  Highlight metacity and click the remove
button.  Click the Apply button.  Main Menu -> Run and type whatever
command starts the window manager you prefer.  Once its running select
it in the Session manager, change Style to Restart, and click the apply
button.
