Not sure this is the most appropriate forum for this question,
unless your utility is intended to be integrated with the gnome desktop in
general.

That said - you might wish to refer to the WM spec docs
at freedesktop.org; there are I believe window manager properties
which can be set on applications, which is the standard/portable way of
associating them with workspaces.
http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.3.html

see the _NET_WM_DESKTOP property.
