Thanks Alan, you are correct that the windows can be dragged from one workspace to another this will be helpful. As usual I wasn't very eloquent in my explanation of my desires as a user so here is a second try at explaining my main desire: I would like to be able to move the rectangular windows representations within the desktop workspace rectangle. If you look at the attached picture, "workspace.jpg" workspace one has some windows which show up on my left screen and a firefox window that shows up on my right screen. I use my right screen with my pc quite often and when I open things in linux they often open to the right screen. My desire is to be able to click on the firefox window and drag it across the current workspace to the left screen within the current workspace. The end result being shown in, "workspace2.jpg". This isn't a huge issue, but it would be cool and useful for those people who split multiple screens between machines. Thanks for your time and attention to my request, sorry for the ambiguity of the first message. I hope cc'ing the usability gnome org address doesn't spam a bunch of people, if it does; sorry.

This is already possible. I normally avoid workspaces completely on a matter of principle but once I turned them back on and resized my panel to a fairly huge 128 pixels and the Workspace switcher expanded it became easy to click on the mini windows and drag them from one workspace to another. The problem may simply be that the mini windows are too difficult to grab on a smaller workspace switcher.
