In Mac OS X, drag-from-anywhere is a feature not of the window  
manager, but implemented on the widget set level (Cocoa, Carbon). A  
developer decides at interface design time wether his app has this  
feature or not. Some developers prefer their app to be drag-from- 
titlebar-only, others don't. Both types of apps coexist smoothly.


To add my $ o.o2 to the Ubuntu discussion: the drag-from-anywhere  
feature isn't always useful, but as well never gets into the way. I'd  
drop the requirement to hold down the Alt key.
