Description Cameron Lerch 2003-03-24 04:46:34 UTC
Description of Problem:

Havoc's reasoning:

Q: Why no wireframe move/resize?

A: Also in rationales.txt. Because it has low
usability, and is a pain to implement, and there's
no reason opaque move/resize should be a problem
on any setup that can run a modern desktop worth a
darn to begin with.

My problem:

I don't see where he addresses the fact that
remote X terminals (see ltsp.org) may be using
Gnome 2. Moving the entire contents of the window
is pratically impossible under these conditions.

A profile of that setup would be a useful thing.
