Hi Guys, just spraying a little bit of ugly realism into this Discussion,
honestly, i like the PieThrower, but i like to refer to my Mother coming to
Computers, shes using Ubuntu because i lured her into it and everytime i see
a new Feature im thinking "Could she be taking advantage of that?". So heres
what i think the casual User would expect from a
Middle-Click-Move-Window-to-Workspace-# Menu. Just thrown together really
quick.

4 Workspaces in 2 Rows Setup  twitpic.com/1fu17u
<http://twitpic.com/1fu17u>3 Workspaces Linear Setup twitpic.com/1fu2gj

<http://twitpic.com/1fu2gj>Its emphasizing several questions i would ask
myself while moving a Window to another Workspace.

  - Where i'm at right now (and the Window i want to move) in relation to
the other Workspaces?  Solution: Color Separation, like making the currrent
Window more reddish as in the Picture.

  - Where do i move it? Solution: The Workspaces in the Menu are arranged
like they would be in the actual Desktop Environment.

  - What Group does my Window fit in? Whats already in the target Workspace?
Solution: Little "Placeholders" for the Current Windows on the Workspaces,
its more likely people will recognize their Window Setup by Shape not by
enumeration.

Like i said, i just threw this together really quick, just hoping it will
give you further input alongside your current discussion.
