The other approach you might use, which is certainly uglier, is what
I use: I have two styles. My normal one,"zen", has no titlebars or
handles etc.  Consequently, I have lots of keybindings to the "W"
context to manipulate windows.

When I have a VNC desktop up I have exactly your problem. So I also have
a style "nested" which has titlebars etc, purely to provide handles for
dragging things around without requiring key bindings. Thus:

        [...]
        Style "zen"     UseStyle "general", NoTitle, NoHandles, BorderWidth 0, 
HandleWidth 0
        Style "nested"  UseStyle "general", Title, BorderWidth 2, HandleWidth 
2, BackingStore, SaveUnder
        Style "*"       UseStyle zen
        [...]
        DestroyFunc SetModeZen
        AddToFunc SetModeZen    I       DestroyStyle "*"
        +                       I       Style "*" UseStyle "zen"
        +                       I       Recapture
        DestroyFunc SetModeTitled
        AddToFunc SetModeTitled I       DestroyStyle "*"
        +                       I       Style "*" UseStyle "nested"
        +                       I       Recapture
        [...]
        Mouse                                   1 R N           Menu Menu1
        DestroyMenu Menu1
        AddToMenu Menu1         "Menu1"         Title
        [...]
        +                       "Zen Mode"      SetModeZen
        +                       "Titled Mode"   SetModeTitled

Ugly, but it at least makes the VNC desktop manipulable.
