What window manager/desktop environment are you using? Most likely, if
you're using Gnome or KDE, the easies thing would be to simply change
your theme. Also, most window managers recognize Alt-mouse click to
mean you want to move your window. So you can hold down alt and click
*anywhere* in the window and you will be able to move it
around. Depending on the particular window manager, there may also be
another shortcut like this to help you.

Glad to hear it! Of course, this mailing list is usually a good
secondary support group!
