    My expectations... built in screen dragging support would be enough for me :-)


    The most useless function ever. Especially when you can move any application to any screen at any time.

    Instead of juggeling screens and windows (you need to have the information you want to pick um on the upper half of the back screen and you need to have all other screens out of the way, too), you simply use the context menu and select the screen the application should jump, too.

    Exactly one click to e.g. have a shell window on the yam screen or the other way around. It even does the screen flip for you. Now you can even use drag and drop between gui components. Afterwards with one click you simply move the application back to the other screen.

    On the other hand you drag the yam screen down (one click), you may need to move some other screen out of the way (another click, plus mouse move), now you have to grab the e.g. shell window to pull it more to the top to make it fully visible. To do that you may need to drag the yam screen even more down. After wards you drag the screen back up. And do what you want, which is just reading stuff from the back screen, as there is no stuff like drag and drop between screens. You also may need to move the front screen as you cannot see all gui parts of the application. Afterwards you need to drag up all screens again and reposition the windows.

    These days screen dragging is just some eyecandy with no use at all. It was not implemented on purpose.

    It was a little useful when applications where stuck on their screens like a cage. They arenĀ“t anymore. Any tool can be on any screen at any time.
