    Thanks, that's all useful information. It addressed the immediate
problem by motivating me to figure out how to get WindowMaker to "Ignore
decoration hints for GTK applications", and now I can just drag using
the WM title bar as with every other window, which is all I needed. I
agree the snapping behavior should be controllable, and probably not the
default in a mouse / traditional desktop environment, but that's
apparently not an evince-specific issue.
