In that case, this is the wrong place. ;)

Seems like a design decision to me.

Also, please don't forget that we are talking about GNOME 2.0 and 2.6
here. Yes, there may be UI differences -- which do not necessarily mean
a bug, but deliberately changed behavior.

GNOME also used to ship with sawfish as the default window manager, at
some historic point in space time. ;-)

Seriously, this might explain some of these issues...

Yes.

It is the "Move window one workspace to the right" keyboard shortcut
that I am talking about here. Moves the window, and switches to that
workspace.

Also please note, that the shortcuts I mentioned are *relative*, rather
than absolute.
