It just seems that some of the proposed config options are so obtuse and
subtle that the average man on the free unix might not understand it.  For
such things, I believe a sensible default is more appropriate.  For
example, a concept like "focus window on workspace change" is a behaviour
far too complex to convey adequatley in a configuration option, and the
change in behaviour this option toggles is so subtle that, imo, not many
would notice it if it were absent from the config menu.

This, I believe, would be much the case for a "don't allow maximised
windows to be moved" option.  If you don't want to move them, then don't!
