In my version of Gnome (Ubuntu 8.04) it does, if you grab the window
further down so that the mouse doesn't have to move too far up.  Also,
Alt+Middle button drag allows you to resize the window anywhere. These
are some of the things I really miss when I'm on a Mac.

I usually map these to use Super (the Windows key) instead of Alt, so
that all window-related stuff uses the Windows key, appropriately.
