Description Vincenzo Ciancia 2003-09-13 21:25:56 UTC 
Description of Problem:

If I choose, into the desktop switcher into the
panel, to have multiple columns, and right-click
over the title of a window, I see a menu to move
the window to one of the desktops. Unfortunately,
the choice happens by number, wich is
uncomfortable (I have to *count* to find where I
want to send the window). In general, that would
be very higher usability if there was "move window
to" left,right,up,down or only "left/right" or
"up/down" in case of only one row/column.

There are keybindings for this already, which you can configure using
the gnome control center Keyboard Shortcuts capplet.

Alternatively, you can rename your workspaces in the pager preferences
to call them something like Upper Left, Upper Right, etc. to make it
more obvious.

We are however considering what that menu should look like for
workspaces.  Please see the bug below:
