Description Mario Sánchez Prada 2014-09-22 15:33:16 UTC 
Because of a downstream need, I realized today that perhaps there's no point on allowing the main window to move, since the whole point of the g-i-s is to present a centered window to the user that should be his/her main and only concern for a while after booting GNOME for the very first time.

I commented in bug 698665 and Rui seems to agree with that thinking[1], so here's a separate bug to track this specific thing down.

Here comes the patch

seems ok, with the slight caveat that this may make 'window too big for screen' situations more fatal than they already are.
Comment 3 Mario Sánchez Prada 2014-09-23 22:43:29 UTC 
Yes, that's certainly an issue, although I guess the chances that the screen are that small are not many, yet I recognize I'm kinda speculating here.

All I can say on this regard is that I've tried g-i-s in a 800x600 resolution and looked quite ok, although I guess things would have been more complicated in smaller resolutions (640x480), should anyone ever use those.
