+1 Kao Chen, exactly what I was thinking of.

Can we imagine a simple window drag and drop like in Compiz, without

Can we just throw the application to the right or the left desktop?
It's what we already do in the overview.
If we throw the application from the last desktop it can move to the
first like in a circle.
And If we really needed to place the window on a specific workspace,
then we should use the overview.

Numbers or icons aren't necessary on the workspaces because the
pie thrower is not for organizing windows, but rather putting them
aside. That said, it would be nice to simply have rectangles
representing all the workspaces appear on a long hold, so one
could have a little more control regarding where the window goes.

Now the issue with this extended view is just that the
different workspaces aren't represented by numbers in the
Shell. And I'm not quite shure how you would represent each
workspace. By showing icons of the apps running on that
desktop? Seems like an ugly solution.
I would defiantly be against using the numbers to represent the
workspaces because PieThrower would be the only area of the Shell
where the workspaces would have numbers, which is confusing/not
helpful. Also, I'm not keen on the icons of the apps for each
workspace, it just complicates things.
I think the original mock-up using simple, clean arrows is the
best way to go about it. For the extended view (more than one
workspace) a double arrow (like fast forward buttons) would throw
the window over two workspaces (my original suggestion). I like
the arrows because its simple and to the point; one arrow will
throw the window one workspace, two arrows will throw the window
two workspaces, and so on. This works because most people have a
feeling or visualization of where the current workspace (and
their work) is in relation to the others, not by what number they
are on, but simply by its position in the entire array (the
visualization part is helped by the Overview, which displays the
workspaces in position with respect to the others, not by
their number or even what apps are running in them).
