Re: Window management pie menu

[Apoorva Sharma <appi2012 gmail com>]

If you really needed to place the window on a specific workspace, then  
you should use the overview. If we add this functionality to the pie  
menu, we would sacrifice the ability to throw widows out of the way,  
and I believe that is the main benefit of such a menu-it allows users  
to quckly set aside windows without breaking their workflow.

Just my two cents.
