Thanks for delimiting these shortcuts -- these are *VERY* helpful. To
that end, would it be possible to list all the currently bound shortcuts
in the manual in CVS? I went over two years of *not* using xfce3 before
starting to use xfce4, and I don't know what they are now.

Also, somebody else mentioned today the idea of putting an option in the
window drop-down menu of "Send to workspace..."; I'd like to second
that, as it gives yet another way of achieving this, and one that is
found in other window managers (the various *box wms come to mind).
