If you have edge-flipping enabled, when the mouse pointer reaches the 
end of the screen, you'll be taken to another workspace. Fvwm and 
Enlightenment have this ability.

Also, if you have programs on multiple workspaces, you'll see that 
sometimes a program attempts to make itself visible. If you're already 
on the right workspace, the program's window will come to the top; if 
you're on another workspace, you'll be switched to the program's 
workspace first.
