Why do you want to do this?

so that exposé & spaces doesn't get majorly confused when you're using an overlay and/or grouped window.
currently, exposé & spaces will ignore the fact that you've grouped windows together.. if you do drawing on a grouped overlay window, with the express desire for them to be joined, those two apps will treat the windows as separate entities & do their voodoo to each one separately.
(rip them appart in Exposé, or put them in different spaces in spaces)


I would be pretty annoyed if I couldn't drag a window from space to space if it appeared in my zoomed-out spaces.

no, actually, you wouldn't be annoyed, since this work around is normally for an OVERLAY window or an otherwise GROUPED window, which under normal circumstances doesn't have a drag UI.


in other words, the end user doesn't realize it's something draggable to begin with...

the OP seems left the bit about why he doesn't want the window draggable, but since its been one of the major headaches in Spaces & window management, it's quite forgiveable..
