David,

Generally when I get a lot of workspaces and frames like that, I start
naming them based on what information is on each of them.  I then jump
to them by name.

There is another method that might extend that.  When I used to use
sawfish, someone sent me a script where you could hit a hotkey and
then start typing the window title.  It would give a list of all
possible titles, and keep narrowing them down the more you typed, in
an incremental search fashion.  You could then either type the number
that was next to the window to go to it, or wait until the one you
wanted was highlighted and hit enter.

It might be interesting to do something like this with ion.  You could
probably do it with tab completion, that that doesn't have the same
visual feedback and isn't as quick.
