[Bug 607796] Re: Launcher, Window management - Dragging and holding a selection over an entry in the Launcher should spread out windows belonging to that application

 

Interestng Mark.

So this probably won't go into 14.04. It is a pitty - I think that
losing the ability to drag and drop from one place to the other (and
to/from file roller in particular) is a massive productivity loss (at
least in my company)!
