Digging a bit deeper...

Fullscreening mpeg and avi files run from the Desktop started crashing once I had reloaded the test workstation with the release version of Hardy.

However, I just discovered:
http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/03/25/toggle-compiz-with-fusion-icon-in-ubuntu-804/
and used such switched back to Metacity.

{test environment} Cleanly rebooted workstation, fire up the toggle applet, verify Metacity is selected, reload the window manager with the same applet... then and only then does drag and drop between windows in the Workspace Switcher resume working, therefor I think I can safely assume Metacity is the active window manager.

{result} Can full screen mpeg / avi videos without a crash!!!

Possibly a Compiz caused crash then?
