AFAIK this is done by window manager commands.  In gnome, where they're
called "workspaces", left-clicking on the top border brings up a pop-up
menu where the viewport can be selected.  Used to be, you could drag
windows from one viewport to another.  I don't know why that feature has
been removed, but it has.
