(Get the code!)
This feature is waiting for a volunteer to step up and implement it. I did
not try it because I have no knowledge of Unity and Compiz and the sorts
whatsoever and am already engaged into other Ubuntu project of my own, but
it seems strange to me that nobody did yet because.
1. It is obvious that the lack of this feature is of huge impact for the
desktop usefulness of Ubuntu.
2. It is a REGRESSION. This feature was present in Unity on Ubuntu 11.04.
3. I might be very wrong but this seems like an easy fix. All one has to do
is capture the event of a mouse-hover while dragging something to trigger
the Spread animation in compiz, filtering it to display only the windows
belonging to the application being hovered. Somehow this looks like a
simple hack to me, but I might be wrong.
Can someone confirm it's only that? Because if it is, then I might do it by
the weekend, I guess?
