Bojan,

Somewhat.

Yep. These representations (which I had totally forgotten, by the way) are
still tinier than Overview windows though, and they're still placed
regardless of the original window's location. My point stands.

And yet, you don't seem to have any trouble using taskbars. That's curious
considering that they have the same problem, only worse.

I use the word "problem" because it's what it seems to be for you. Please
bear in mind that it's no problem from where I see it.

I am sorry that having to endure expose is so painful to you. I don't know
what else to say, I'm afraid I can't relate.

Sorry - not true. If you open the Overview and drag a window to another
workspace, it's placed in the exact same position it was before. You do know
where it will end up.
