Can I still right click on an app to move it to the left or right workspace like in 11.04 and before? What about one click switcher?

In 11.04(classic edition) and before, one of the best features of Ubuntu was the workspace switcher, none of the other major OS had something like that built natively. I work with 2 workspaces, one left and the other right. I will right click apps from left workspace and throw them to the right and vice versa.
In 11.10, I have to:
- Open workspace from the launcher
- Drag the app to the other workspace
- Double click back on my original workspace
What used to take 2 clicks, now takes 1 click, 1 double click and a drag. Is that the modern way to switch apps between workspaces?
In older Ubuntu, I had the 2 workspace icons at the bottom right corner of my screen. I can then single click on the left or right workspace for switching. I'm now doing step 1 and 3 from above to perform that single.
Are there any shortcuts or customization to reduce the number of events I have to go through to perform those simple actions?
