Re: Drag windows across workspaces

["Eric Mangold" <teratorn world-net net>]

Try adding this to your sawfish RC file (~/.sawfish/rc for me):

(require 'sawfish.wm.ext.edge-flip)
(define-special-variable edge-flip-enabled t
                            "Select the next desktop when the pointer hits  
screen edge.")
(define-special-variable edge-flip-type 'workspace
                            "Control what hitting the screen edge selects,  
workspace or viewport.")
(define-special-variable edge-flip-only-when-moving nil
                            "Only flip when interactively moving a  
window.")
(define-special-variable edge-flip-delay 300
                            "Milliseconds to delay before edge flipping.")


Let us know if that's all it takes...
