It doesn't do that for me - Emacs appears in the workspace where I started
it. Maybe you have told WindowMaker to always start Emacs in workspace 1?
To check:
Right-click on the WM title bar of an Emacs window, choose Attributes, then
"Icon and Initial Workspace" from the menu. Is the "Initial Workspace" item
set to "Nowhere in particular"?

And just to add my tuppence worth to the whole "mode-line" business, I have
put the time and date in a mode-line tooltip via display-time-string-forms,
which saves space in the mode-line and stops me clock-watching, as the
clock only appears when I want it to. No use for console mode of course
though, as has been said.
