At our last meeting, Susan (I think) demonstrated how a user could get
somewhat confused by grabbing a window by the bottom of its title bar
and dragging it upwards as far as possible, thus rendering the title
bar invisible and making it hard to figure out how to move the window
(unless you know about alt-click or middle click on the border).
I decided to check out how Windows handles this, and discovered that
it seems to be artificially impossible to drag a window that far up;
even if you grab by the very lowest pixel of the title bar and drag
the mouse pointer all the way up, about three pixels of the title bar
are still visible. Perhaps we can replicate that behavior in sawfish.
