Could someone tell me whether it's Nautilus or Metacity that is in control of this behaviour?
Thanks.

I often don't want to utilize the folder on the Workspace in which it
is already open, which is why I'm not already using it >there. With the
current behaviour I have to go to the Workspace where the open window
is, close the window, go back to the >Workspace in which I want to be
and re-open the folder. A bit faster is going to the Workspace where
the window is, and use >the window manager menu to move the window to
