Hi, window management doesn't work here properly. Dragging of maximized widows fails and also the middle-click moving of full sized windows. In Beta 13 both worked.

Strange - it works for me. Do you have those 2 options enabled in the Settings window on the "Window Management" tab?

Yes I have.

I just noticed, that some programs work... Wait a minute...

Which programs aren't working for you? Some behave strangely (iTunes, Google Chrome) but most should work perfectly.

It seems that only one program I use doesn't work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Huggle I use Version 8.2 and I think I haven't tested it in Beta 13.

(And naturally iTunes doesn't work because of the lacking title bar.)

Actually, iTunes does work... I had to add a bit of trickery to get it to work though.

I'll give your application a try and see what I can find out.

(How does iTunes work? Where do I have to click/drag? I don't notice any effekt.)

You have to click where the caption bar would normally be at the top of the window.

This is strange - sometimes (perhaps 20 %) it works here but most of the time it doesn't.

Strange... it will only respond to window dragging/middle button clicks if the mouse is in the top 10-15 pixels of the window (where the caption bar should be). It's a real hack, and it's not apparent where you are supposed to click to make it work. Unfortunately, because of the non-standard way iTunes draws it's window it was the best I could do.
