Why would you want to move the title bar above the screen top?  If you
did that you would not have access to the minimize/maximize/close
buttons on the title bar ever again. and many windows remember their
last position so reopening them would give the same problem even if you
killed them to get them off the screen after making the title bar
inaccessible.

I like the limitation that makes the title bar accessible no matter
where you try to move it.
