On a related note, enhancing metacity's window movement behavior from
the keyboard would be really nice.  If you press Alt+F7 to move a
window, you can move it all over the screen using the arrow keys.  But,
if you press Alt+Space and select Move that way, you cannot push the
window vertically off the screen -- the window gets stuck on the title bar.

Recoverability issue combined with the fact that the code doesn't
differentiate how you opened that menu.  E.g. if you opened the window
menu by clicking on the button in the upper left corner of the window,
allowing movement of the titlebar off the screen would be really bad.

Feel free to file a bug, the issue is basically just in tracking how
the window menu was opened.

Ahh...understood. It just seemed quirky to me, but I never really thought it was bad enough to be called a true bug. If this is done by design, then I'm fine with it, especially since Alt+F7 gives me the behavior I need.

Thanks!
