This is not a solution. Some window managers (fvwm at least) lets you
move in short increments towards the next workspace.
If what we see is workspace 1 it kind of looks like this (M is a menu):
------------------------------
| workspace1 | workspace2 |
| ---------- | |
| | M | | |
| | Emacs | | |
| ---------- | |
------------------------------
By using ALT-Right arrow one can move the Emacs gradually towards workspace 2
------------------------------
| workspace1 | workspace2 |
| ---------- |
| M | | |
| | Emacs | |
| ---------- |
------------------------------
so what you see is part of the Emacs main window, but the
menu is left behind, outside the main window. In no situaton is the Emacs
window unmapped. Thus, a keyboard grab to prevent this is the only solution.
It what other applications (X toolkits really) do.
