If you did that you would not have access to the minimize/maximize/close buttons on the title bar ever again. and many windows remember their last position so reopening them would give the same problem even if you killed them to get them off the screen after making the title bar inaccessible. I like the limitation that makes the title bar accessible no matter where you try to move it. > I don't know if these changes resulted from the conversion to X.org. > Searching the net hasn't found anyone else even mentioning the issues. > I'd like to know if the changes were deliberate or accidents.
