Hold on, I don't agree with that. Taking control away from the user
is wrong except in situation where it's right, in which case you
typically want something like a kiosk. The way you've phrased it
seems like you're claiming that kiosk mode is wrong on its face.
Sorry, I thought I had been clear. The OP had written that he wanted
to prevent a window from moving without providing the critical detail
that he was writing a kiosk application, and some of the replies
reflected that. If you have a good reason for taking over the screen
(kiosk app, full-screen game, animated desktop background, slideshow/
presentation mode in a "regular" app, etc.), I think it's perfectly
fine to use a window that doesn't move. If you're writing a "regular"
app, the user should be able to arrange windows as s/he sees fit.
My two cents...
