It's the same behaviour as OSX afaik, and we all know that everything Apple do is perfect in every way ;-)
Joking aside, I don't see how this feature can do any harm, and for a lot of people it's an usability improvement - i.e. they don't have to be so precise on the mouse and don't need to understand the difference between windeco and window background in order to drag stuff.
I'm fairly indifferent, with a slight leaning towards keeping the feature enabled - and thus sticking to the upstream default.
FWIW, the reason I wanted to disable it was that I was often moving windows around when I just wanted to resize the panes inside a window. This happens if I do not precisely drag the divider (between two panes) but rather a few pixels above the divider. What happens in this case is that the whole window moves (often un-maximises and moves). Personally, I found it frustrating.
Maybe this was improved for 4.6. Because on 4.6rc2 I can't seem to un-maximize or move a maximized window by clicking or dragging on the window background, no matter how clumsy I try to be :-) (I tried Dolphin and Kontact) I can see that it might happen, that you accidentally move around a non- maximized window, when trying to perform certain other operations, but I think this disadvantage is outweighed by the benefits. It should also be noted that with the Oxygen windeco it can be a bit difficult, for the un-initiated user, to tell the windeco and the window background apart since they're the same colour. I guess that's the reason why this feature was added in the first place. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
