I do it on Ubuntu 11.04. And with 4 workspaces on a 2x2 grid.
Each step below correspond to an image in the attached file (do not mind windows showed on the workspaces #2 and #4). Sorry this file is not with a better quality. The steps are pretty detailed, though.
1. in workspace 1, open a terminal window
2. move the window so that some part of it is on the workspace below
3. go to workspace below (#3). See its icon on the dash below.
4. right click on the dash icon, choose "always on the visible workspace"; right click again and choose maximize; now the window is gone from this workspace. But you can see it is maximized on workspace 1 (in the ws. switcher).
5. switch to the ws. #1. The window is not here (if you are here).
Repeating the 3rd problem, above.
