I did a similar thing with my patches to the move plugin (you probably
know that if you use QuinnStorms Debian packages).
To actually throw a window (without touching an edge of the screen)
would be a bit harder to do.
What I wanted (and suggested some time ago) is an extension to the
existing context menu of gnome-window-decorator (what appears when you
right-click on a window's title bar) that allows you to send a window to
any disktop you want. This is known from many other window managers
(including Metacity) and far easier to implement than a "physical throw".
I think I'll do that (the menu) when digging the gnome-window-decorator
code as soon as I'll have time for it.


Regards
Thomas
