I would like to be able to move a window, by dragging, from one desktop to
another. I thought that this was set in:
Control Center->Desktop->Window Behavior

But I am unable to find how to setup for this. Can someone point me in the
right direction?

TIA

this sort of thing depends on the window manager, so the right direction is
probably to go to the mailing list of whatever wm you're using. if you
mention what wm you use, someone here might have an answer, but a specific
mailing list is more likely to be of help.

Slackware doesn't have any quirks. Other distros have quirks. Slackware's
just pure Linux.

This is nonsense. This ng is for any topic that is of interest to
users of slackware; hence, questions on wm topicis are right on
target.

Ignore Joost Kremers. He is an old lady.

I'm sorry I thought it was obvious because of the reference to

>> Control Center->Desktop->Window Behavior

This is found in KDE.

Do you have anything else to add?

No, it's not nonsense. Joost offered sound advice: "Be specific." It does
depend on the window manager. Without that information, any answer is just
a wild guess.

Joost did not complain that the post was off topic. That was just you
putting words in his mouth. Your attack was gratuitous and rather stupid,
"as always."

I've noticed, with no little surprise, that you've actually attempted to
offer substantive help recently. That's good, I guess, but it could lead
newbies in the group to the mistaken belief that you're human and not just
a troll-bot.

I do: how is Control Center->Desktop->Window Behavior obviously KDE to
anyone who doesn't use KDE?

Since you neatly clipped away Joost's remark, I just added it back
in right above mine.

If you want to kiss Joost Kremers' ass please take it to email.

And since Joost Kremers doesn't use KDE, why on earth was he
answering the question? Why are _you_ answering the question?

If you want to kiss Joost Kremers' ass please take it to email.

NOTE to OP: Keith Keller and Joost Kremers are two of the rudest
posters who troll this newsgroup. Of course you've seen that for
yourself. I don't use KDE so I cannot help you.

Well... KDE users may be expected to know that, but I would wager most
people in alt.os.linux.slackware don't use KDE. I know I don't.

Now, if we went on the assumption everybody knew Control Center->
Desktop -> Windows Behavior was in KDE... how, exactly, do we know it
isn't in gnome, too? Or in OpenBox3? Or in WindowMaker? Or in Xfce?
