Dylan - yes I see what you mean about dragging windows around - whilst my idea works for most applications, there are some like the GIMP which don't have much (or any) dead space. And the window title thing.. I hadn't thought of it like that, that creates quite an issue =/ Perhaps if the window title shown was limited to only the application's name?
Omar - thanks, and yes I just saw a post on OMGUbuntu linking to that bug report again, which is what reminded me about posting them here. Matt - I like the idea, but Frederik's right that it wouldn't work cos of how menus work. Also I think it could get a bit too confusing for the user, and there would need to be a drag-release distance threshold in case they dragged the window a tiny bit by accident.
