Um... I have to ask. You do know about how to switch between windows
with Alt-Tab and Alt-Shift-Tab, don't you? And that you can drag any
window from any point (not just the title bar) if you hold down the
Alt key as you drag, so you can reposition a window even if it doesn't
have a title bar or it is entirely covered?
