This is with the CVS version of Gtk+ (as checked out by jhbuild
yesterday).  Given that there is no (current) way of switching
workspaces while dragging (keyboard shortcuts don't work, etc.), there
isn't any easy way of testing said code.  If you (or anyone else) wants
to test it, the patch to libwnck for switching workspaces while dragging
is in bug #136698 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136698).
