Bug Description

I have a dual-head setup (NVidia TwinView) where the second screen is an
overhead projector. I would find it extremely useful if I could just drag
windows using the Workspace Switcher between my screens. This would help a lot
especially at times when the projector is blanked or switched off and I would
like to move some windows to be projected when switched on/unblanked.

For now windows can be dragged to different workspaces without altering they
relative position (within workspace). What I propose is to make it possible to
change the window position WITHIN the workspace by dragging it.
Such a functionality is present ie. in the fvwm workspace switcher (whatever
it's called).

I made a modification which implements the proposal (see the patch) and submitted it upstream. I'm reporting it here just in case if the upstream decides to dump it.
