Indeed that appears to have been Allen's point - that workspace switching is something "new" that you don't see in Windows. Thus, new users try it out and like it and use it and play with all the features. Then they later switch on compiz and it starts working differently and with fewer features.

(aside: the right-button menu on a windowframe shows _what_ as the keyboard accelerators for moving the window to workspace left/right/up/down? ...certainly not ctrl-alt-shift-arrowkey as you say above, though those DO seem to work just fine, although NOT solve the problem; see below > Or just dragging them to the edge of the screen. Both the arrow-keys solution and the window-dragging solution need the mouse to be in the window to be moved. The window-moving-in-the-applet functionality allows _any_ window to be moved to _any_ workspace, regardless of what windows are showing and what the current workspace is. So please don't confuse window control and virtual-workspace-window-management; they're very very different. > Not that I don't think it's important to fix something like this (a > thousand paper cuts and all that), but there's no need for the > hyperbole. The word hyperbole infers that Allen exaggerated something; I don't find that to be the case. Nothing he said was an exaggeration, even his wrap-up that this is a reputational damage issue. It is.
