Returning to Enlightenment after a long absence (E17 was pre-release,
i seem to remember) and am not able to find much in the way of end
user documentation for E18. The first thing i'd like to tweak is
window placement across desktops.

Currently i can drag a window towards the edge of my desktop, and when
the cursor hits the edge, the display flips to the next desktop in
that direction and i continue to drag the window across that desktop.
This is the expected behaviour, so far, so good :) If i release the
mouse button in mid-drag, though, while the window is half off either
displayed desktop, and i then switch views to the next desktop, i
don't see the other half of the window. Not-so-much expected
behaviour. It seems counter-intuitive to me, and not the way other
window managers i've used do this. I'm used to a window being visible
on multiple desktops if its position happens to span across the "edge"
between them. In fact, using the pager to position a window in the
virtual desktop in other window managers allows me to place it across
the edge between screens.

Is there some way to enable this in Enlightenment? Or is this perhaps
not a function of E18 at all, but the underlying X server and the
composite stuffs? (Xorg and composite were only just making an
appearance when i last used linux on the desktop, so i'm not quite up
to speed on their roles yet.)
