But there is no visual indication that will happen. In all other
particulars, there is a mapping between representation on the desktop
and representation in the switcher. That this mapping of desktop to
switcher breaks unexplainably when you're clicking and moving is
confusing at best. If you don't think that functionality should be in, I
guess that's fine, but it shouldn't break the visual metaphor by
allowing the window-representation to move without moving the real
window.
