If you enable "visual-effects"/compiz you only have _one_ workspace. 
_One_ workspace that is N times the size of your physical screen.

What we then perceive and use as N "workspaces" are in fact what they 
call _viewports_ showing a screen sized part of the single large workspace.

Sadly it only supports dragging between workspaces, and not viewports. 
The tooltip should have been disabled when only one workspace exists. 
It's useless, annoying and confusing.

To see the most noticeable difference between having multiple workspaces 
and a single large one with multiple viewports try to put a window 
halfway one and the next workspace/viewport with and without 
visual-effects/compiz enabled.
