Disable compiz isn't a sensible workaround for this bug. Compiz offers
more than eye candy. Many new users wouldn't know how to replace it with
xfwm4 and would be stuck with metacity, so they'd be replacing a window
manager with a problem that can be worked around (Expo etc) with one

Ugh. So yeah, these Compiz/Workspace Switcher bugs still obviously
exist.

2. Can't drag from the window list to the workspace switcher to send a window
to another workspace.
3. Can't drag a window from the window switcher and drop it
What you can't do with expose but with workplace switcher is for example
drag an image from a firefox window, hover over a different workspace in
the switcher. This switches workspace to the application that is waiting
for the dragged input image.

I don't think anyone's ungrateful. The problem is that the default is
broken. On my system, Normal visual effects are enabled by default
(resulting in Compiz being used). In that configuration, I cannot drag
windows between workspaces - making the tooltips a liar. Can I survive
without Compiz? Of
Using Exposé is a little workaround.
In Exposé-View you can drag an drop app-windows. Its very fast, you dont
need to press any button, just assign one edge to exposé.

Ryan - here's my understanding of this issue. I believe, at the heart

Not that I'm complaining, but I think the current situation is sub-optimal and
there are a few ways to fix this in Ubuntu (i.e. not upstream):

a long time to deliver.

rewriting the tooltip is just plain wrong. This bug is a regression (it doesn't
