I don't think anyone's ungrateful. The problem is that the default is broken. On my system, "Normal" visual effects are enabled by default (resulting in Compiz being used). In that configuration, I cannot drag windows between workspaces - making the tooltips a liar. Can I survive without Compiz? Of course. But new users are going to be confused when a tooltip tells them they can do something and then they can't, especially when they're running the default configuration. It reflects poorly on the system.

The only available workaround: Disable compiz. Compiz is but eye-candy, you
and your users will prefer Ubuntu with unbroken multiple workspaces. And
candy isn't good for you :-)

Some would say that complaining about this bug means:
* you misunderstand the Ubuntu bug reporting politics
* you are ungrateful about others' hard work
* you do not understand how X11 ought to work
* you are mentally unstable and ought to switch to Windows XP

I'm now compiz free for 18 months. One day at a time.
