Public bug reported:
In metacity you can snap-drag by holding down alt, click-dragging a
window and then pressing shift.
Consider the following scenario:
- There are three windows, A, B and C. None overlap, A is slightly to the left
of B, C slightly above B.
- If you alt-drag B just enough to pick it up, then move it a little, it's
going to snap such that it's edge-to-edge with both A and C.
If you want to drag B to the "opposite" corner, the one furthest away
from the intersection of the bottom line of C and right line of A,
you're going to be dragging the window away from the place it snaps to.
The window snapping away from where you're dragging it is very counter-
intuitive. Wouldn't it be better if metacity snapped the window to the
position that the most recent mouse motion is pointing towards?
