Title:
  moving a window from between workspaces after just a simple workspace
  change

Status in unity-2d package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This happens every time in unity-2d
  Situation: One is in a workspace(say "top-right") and in another workspace there is a  window of interest(say a simple gnome-terminal window in "top-left" workspace).
  What to do: 
  1. Change workspace and then try do come back from there "with" the window of interest: so "top-right" to "top-left" with the usual Ctrl+Alt+LeftArrow; 
  2. do not let go of Ctrl+Alt! press Shift key and RightArrow also(so now you elegantly press Ctrl-Alt+Shift+RightArrow).
   Now I expect that the window in the "topLeft" workspace to come back "with me" into the "top-right" worksp. That does not happen; 
  Workaround:  if at step 2. I let go of Ctrl+Alt and then I press again all needed keys(the whole elegant combination) I am able to move the window from my "top-left" to my "top-right" worksp.
  Why is this wrong: I do not expect to just move while pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift when I know that that is the combination to move "with" a window(if any) - even if I choose to move around workspaces first(probably I forgot in which worksp. I left me gnome-terminal window...) and I am to lazy to get my hand of the keyboard :)
  Note:In step 1. you do not need to actualy change a workspace with Ctrl+Alt+LeftArrow combination(if you were in "top-left" that combination lets you in the same workspace but at step 2. the problem persists). 

  Details:
  1. lsb_release -rd:
  Description:	Ubuntu precise (development branch)
  Release:	12.04
  2.  apt-cache policy pkgname:
  unity-2d-shell:

    Candidate: 5.10.0-0ubuntu1
    Version table:

          500 http://ro.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  3. What I expected to happen: I want to move a window to another workspace with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Arrow
  4. What happened instead: Only the Ctrl+Alt+Arrow was executed(just changed the workspace, no window moved).

  Thanks!
