Complex, applications and/or {GTK,QT,TCL/TK,...}? would need to pass
clicks back to the window manager if the click is on empty space. That
or the window manager needs to be informed of the inactive areas in a
window that are valid places for clicks to start a move action.

There seems to be a lot of resistance to the idea.
