Please help with a small problem that I have - previously I could move a
window from one desktop to another by a simple drag and drop operation
in the desktop switcher. This facility seems to have disappeared or has
been disabled and I cannot get it to work again.
It is easy enough to click to go to the next desktop but sometimes you
have two windows on one desktop, then it is handy to simply drag and
drop the top one to the next available space.
I am running on Ubuntu 10.10.
