Would you mind filing the bug report and citing its URL here? As you say yourself, in the mail you reference, Havoc assumes that one is able to move overly large windows. At least that part is broken. I have no way to get to the lower end of a window that is too large. So at least this is a bug that IMO *has* to be fixed. And second, his main argument seems to be that the solutions for a lost title bar (ALT-click) is too hidden. Then, well, what would be his argument to not allow ALT-click to freely move a window? Because, for people using it, it wouldn't be an unknown feature anymore. > Sorry to bother you with speeches. I know I should post this to the > metacity folks. It's just that I still get mad at that "feature". ;-) Well, I think Havoc does have a point. Losing the title bar is a Bad Thing. It's just that the cure is a bit too strong. Bye,
