I personally agree with the former poster, perhaps because the first windowing system I used on a major scale was Amiga Workbench which did not allow moving windows off-screen (but had a notion of sliding screens, emulated by AmiWM IIRC). WindowsLab seem to be inspired by the Amiga WB too. But obviously this does not have to suit all people. -- [a]
