I use desktops exclusively. I don't use the Pager either. I never want to drag a window from one to another; I always "push" it because I don't think of desktops/pages as laid out in any particular geometric relationship. So I have Alt-Fn-N bound to "switch to desktop N" and Shift-Fn-N bound to "push this window to desktop N". I also have named desktops in a menu (Alt-D for the menu to switch, Alt-P for the menu that pushes) and a convenient shell command to make and switch to a new desktop at whim. Since I always have a thin shell window across the top of my screen, this is easy.
