On many window managers, you can also try to grab the window by
maintaining the ALT or Windows key pressed.

Hi :)
Is it possible to post a bug-report about this or make
it a wish-list item or something? A lot of apps seem to have long
pop-ups with the useful buttons potentially off-screen. Some apps had
the "Cancel" and "Ok" buttons at the top-right. Other apps keep the
window small and then have different tabs for different sections.
There must be some clever way of doing this.

Tom :)
