What Joe needs here is "Switch to window's workspace", which IMHO should 
be the default choice.

I think we should have a process in place for deciding best defaults for 
Xfce settings. Maybe a user feedback mechanism, online polls, or we 
could simply go over settings introduced 2-3 revisions ago and rethink 
their defaults. The current process (or lack of it) dictates that when 
there is a clash between the existing behavior and even the best feature 
the legacy always wins.
