Description Vincent Noel 2005-01-10 18:00:18 UTC
I suspect this is not really feasible given the way drag-n-drop works, but here
goes :

I'd like to be able to drag a window from another workspace in the workspace
switcher applet, and drop it in the main screen area (ie outside the panel,
where all the other windows are), in order to drag it to the current workspace.

Rationale :
* the dropping zone is almost infinite, hence it's much easier and faster than
dropping on the small "current workspace" square of the workspace switcher.
* As the "current workspace" square represents the main screen area, it makes
sense that both would behave the same.
* I just did it without thinking, so it must have some kind of instinctive
consistency :-)

But then again, I don't know if it can be done at all.

Neither do I. But if it is, it should be done in libwnck ;-)

This is the opposite of bug 143857.

Moving to right component. Sorry for the spam.
Comment 4 Vincent Untz 2006-05-20 15:34:31 UTC
Note: we could do it by simply accepting drag with a x-wnck-window-id target on the desktop (in nautilus).
