Another method (if you are asking about moving a window from one desktop to another): you can change desktops via control-# where # is the desktop number. If you grab a window by its title bar (as if to drag it somewhere) and then press control-6, say, the window will be moved to Desktop 6.


Also, you can assign all windows for a particular application to a particular desktop by using control-click on Dock icon, then "Options".
