It seems that I have a different problem.

Each screen has its own list of groups:
*screen-1* has only Default
*screen-2* has Web, Vsim, Shells

I cannot move a window from *screen-1*/Default to *screen-2*/???
via gmove

Here is how I setup my screens/groups:

,----
| (defun setup-groups ()
|   (switch-to-screen *screen-2*)
|   (run-commands "gnewbg Web" "gnewbg Vsim" "gnewbg Shells")
|   (setup-vsim-group)
|   (switch-to-screen *screen-1*))
| 
| (defun setup-vsim-group () ()
|   (switch-to-screen *screen-2*)
|   (switch-to-group (find-group *screen-2* "Vsim"))
|   ;; resize the vsim window 400 pixels wider, 200 pixels higher
|   (run-commands "only" "vsplit" "hsplit" "resize 400 200")
|   (run-or-raise "xterm -name xterm-vsim" '(:instance "xterm-vsim")))
| 
| ;;; initialization functions
| (defvar *first-run* t)
| (setf *first-run* t)
| (when *first-run*
|   (setf *screen-1* (car *screen-list*))
|   (setf *screen-2* (cadr *screen-list*))
|   (setf *first-run* nil)
|   (setup-groups))
`----


Is there a better way that allows to move windows/groups between
screens?


I also tried the following:

(defcommand test () ()
  (move-window-to-group (current-window) (find-group *screen-2* "Vsim")))


This moves the current window from *screen-1* to *screen-2*
At least stumpwm thinks so when I query the window lists in each screen.

But the content of the window is still displayed in *screen-1*
