There's a worse problem: how do you move the current window if you
don't have a titlebar that you can grab?

Personally, I like the titlebar-less approach. In fact, I use a custom
theme that removes the titlebar from every single window, leaving only
a border which is brighter for the selected window. However, the main
problem while using this theme is that the only way to move the window
is to press Alt+mouse dragging, which is not very comfortable.

It would be nice if there was some other way to move the window. Any idea?
