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! ;) - Tim
