Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  With Metacity, one would need only to drag the tab to the bottom bar,
  mouse-over the destination window, and then release the tab in the
  newly focused window.

  There is no equivalent behavior with Unity. Dragging tabs to its bar
  does nothing.

  
  ---------------------
  Desired resolution:

  Users should be able to move tabs between browser windows irrespective
  of window state (minimised, restored or maximised) by dragging and
  dropping the via the Launcher app spread.

  Use case
  1.  User opens two Chromium or Firefox windows, with two tabs open in each.
  2.  User starts dragging a browser tab
  3.  Unity slides out the Launcher with valid drop receptacles highlighted
  4.  User drags the tab over a browser icon in the Launcher
  5.  Unity displays a spread of the two browser windows
  6.  User continues the drag, and drags and drops the tab into the other browser window
  7.  Unity shifts the tab to the other browser window.  If this window is minimised it is restored and brought into focus.  If this window is maximised or restored it is brought into focus.
