I saw that bug but the reporter seems to have a different problem. He
was saying that he had difficulty just grabbing a window. I haven't
experienced that problem. However, I noticed other posters to that same
bug *did* indicate a similar problem to mine.
I wonder if we're talking about two different bugs here and if I should
post a new bug?
