I've long wanted to be able to drag a window from one workspace to another and this simple patch enables this feature. It's just a quick hack - there's no config options, no timers, just a simple check when dragging a window to see if the mouse is at one of the edges of the screen, and if so a switchTo{Next|Prev}Workspace(true) and an XWarpPointer to the other edge so that the drag appears seemless.

Anyway, I'm including this patch for anyone who's interested - I know, looking at the feature requests, that there are a few people who've wished for this in the past ...

Cheers,
Owen

I'd apply if this was properly done:
- conditional on edge switch
- a timer to delay the move
