--- Comment #4 from Thomas Pfeiffer <thomas.pfeif...@kde.org> ---
I am strictly against this change.
It has to be possible to easily revert actions. With this change, a user who
does not know about the alt+drag method can move a window to a place where they
don't know how to get it back from.
The argument about the dialogs with off-screen buttons is not a good argument.
I've checked with GNOME 3, Ubuntu, Xfce, LXDE, Windows and OS X. Of those, Xfce
was the only desktop environment which allowed unrestricted moving triggered
from the title bar menu.
That means that an application which makes dialogs that are taller than the
screen and puts important buttons at the bottom is - even if it runs only on
Linux - screwed in at least three desktop environments.
We should not risk users manoevering themselves into a dead end just to be one
of a minority of desktop environments where even otherwise broken applications
work. Instead, people should file bug reports on these applications and get
them to be fixed.
