Quoth Yury Tarasievich,
I foresee folks developing certain subconscious fear of moving the Wmaker's windows in general - what if it'll change its size?
I can see the reasoning behind it and I think that Doug's suggestion of having all three possibilities is the way forward. I'd always prefer that users be given the choice.
Having thought some more about it I propose that in WPrefs the setting be shown as a heading "Moving a maximized window" followed by a dropdown with three settings: "behaves normally" (current default), "restores original size" (shrink on move) and "commits new dimensions" (clear flags).
At one point in the past I thought about adding the option of locking a maximised window into place by disabling all movement when it was flagged. Since my main goal for doing that was to prevent losing the ability to restore the dimensions I abandoned the idea when the (now) current behaviour was made to work. For completeness we might now add it with a fourth description along the lines of "is prevented."
