Okay, here's the resulting script.  It's still fairly clunky, but at
least doesn't call wmctrl as many times.  It's too bad there's no way to
move the window without unmaximizing and remaximizing it.  Any
additional suggestions are appreciated.

One additional feature I added is it now only swaps between screens for
the current desktop (this assumes you have < 10 desktops):

#!/bin/bash

IGNORE="gkrellm"
WIDTH=1400

CURRENT_DESKTOP=`wmctrl -d | grep "*" | sed "s/^\(.\).*/\1/"`

for WIN in `wmctrl -G -l | grep -iv $IGNORE | grep "^.\{10\}
$CURRENT_DESKTOP" | awk '{print $1 "." $3}'`
do
ID=${WIN%%.*}
POSITION=${WIN#*.}
if [ $POSITION -gt $WIDTH ] || [ $POSITION -eq $WIDTH ]
then
NEWPOSITION=$(($POSITION-$WIDTH))
else
NEWPOSITION=$(($POSITION+$WIDTH))
fi

PROPERTIES=`xprop -id $ID`
echo $PROPERTIES | grep -q "_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM).*MAXIMIZED_VERT"
VERT=$?
echo $PROPERTIES | grep -q "_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM).*MAXIMIZED_HORZ"
HORZ=$?

if [ $VERT == 0 ]; then wmctrl -i -r "$ID" -b remove,maximized_vert; fi
if [ $HORZ == 0 ]; then wmctrl -i -r "$ID" -b remove,maximized_horz; fi

wmctrl -i -r "$ID" -e 0,$NEWPOSITION,-1,-1,-1

if [ $VERT == 0 ]; then wmctrl -i -r "$ID" -b add,maximized_vert; fi
if [ $HORZ == 0 ]; then wmctrl -i -r "$ID" -b add,maximized_horz; fi

done
