           Summary: "bring here" option in show window list option
           Product: kde
           Version: 3.5
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rich.d.jones at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.10)
OS:                Other

One use case I often have for a multi-desktop environment is the following:

I've lost a window that I want to refer to: it's somewhere else in one of the
many virtual desktops that I use.  I use the "show window list" task bar button
to hunt about for the window.  The reason I'm hunting about for it is that it's
pertinent to something else I'm doing in another window, so what I want is both
windows on the same virtual desktop.

In the current situation, I have to select the window I was looking for, being
flipped to the desktop it currently resides on, and then assign it back to the
desktop that I just came from, then head back to that desktop again.

What would be totally awesome would be if the "show window list" task bar
button could allow me to right-click a window entry in the list, and select
"bring here", and perhaps even a full "to desktop" menu.

Cheers,

Richard
