Or do as Metacity does right now, which is you need to use keybindings
to do this. (Pick up window, move spaces via keyboard, drop window.)

Right, the idea is that it'd be in the pager.

Pager property box could have a choice of what to show in each 
mini-desktop:
 - show workspace numbers 
 - show workspace names
 - show the little window icons (as we do now)

If you don't show window icons the pager is purely to swap workspaces,
nothing else.
