"logical impossibility"... in the case described above, logic dictates that
neither window could overlap the other... so, if one window is dragged "over"
the other, once released, it should "move" off of the other one toward the
side(s) of itself with the largest area(s) not "over" the other window... when
positioning, it should be possible to drag "under/over" or "through" the other
window with the caveat about what would happen on release... this way you don't
have to go around the other window if you want to swap positions with it...
it doesn't seem so hard or complicated to me... the actual code, on the other
hand, may very well be above my current abilities in this environment ;)
