I had to do something similar.  Overall it's okay.  I tend to open terminal
windows willy nilly since I do a lot of sysadmining stuff so I like to keep
state on whatever other work I'm doing in other windows.  What makes it hard
is that I do that in whatever workspace I'm in and then try to move it to
another workspace.

Now I do what you do for the most part.  A little getting used to though.

Huh, I never thought about shuffling workspaces around.  Never found a use
for it.  I tend to keep those fixed once they are set.  Of course if there
are workspace on demand then you really don't need it.  There needs to be a
little adjustment in the sensitivity of workspace switching in linear mode.
 It makes moving windows to other workspaces a big pain.  (bug filed)
