Disclaimer: Actually using Debian here, not Ubuntu, but I am knowledgeable enough to find the right packages, and compile my own if needed.
I am a rather heavy user of the Multiple Desktops (workspaces) feature of gnome. However, I would like to get a lot more use out of my screen space by being able to tell a window to only show on, say, workspaces 2 and 3, instead of all workspaces.
Is there an addon to gnome or a configuration I can set somewhere to allow for this behavior?

Take a look at devil's pie, an app written to allow such customization on GNOME 2.
Note that if/when you move to GNOME 3, things might work very differently…
