I think I will address this in beta 4, though not exactly as requested...

A nice one you may not have noticed, if you are moving a window around (drag
the titlebar etc) and hit a shortcut to switch to another desktop directly
(the "Desktop" action, not "DesktopRight" etc) or even use the mouse wheel,
the window will follow you to the desktop.

K, I'm not sure if that was altogether clear, if you didn't understand let
me know and I'll try again :P

While dragging between desktops would be cool, I have not found a way to
integrate it into the openbox3 action system cleanly yet, and so I haven't
looked at code to actually perform the function. Perhaps at some future
date.

Later,
Ben
