My window manager does store the "workspace name" into the window's
properties (I think it does it mostly so that kill&restart of the
window-manager doesn't lose this info), so the info is accessible
to Emacs.

The freedesktop.org "standards" says that the _NET_WM_DESKTOP property
should hold the "desktop number".  Of course, the window-manager I use
does not follow this "standard" since it allows windows to be in several
workspaces rather than only in one or only in all.
