Matchbox lets you move dialogs by dragging the window , but maybe there
are edge cases it doesn't work for. I always assumed it dragged the
window around if the frame received the events, as otherwise some other
X window would have eaten the events.
Amusingly I just discovered by asking mallum for details that this
behaviour is actually a bug, when for the last two years I thought it
was a great feature.
