Bug Description

Dragging the application window from one desktop to another in workspaces mode causes Unity UI to freeze. The application itself has focus and can still be controlled by keyboard (not by mouse), but the Unity UI is frozen. After a minute or two, Compiz crashes on SIGSEGV in CompWindow::move().
