All other windows I've tried (including PuTTY) snap to monitor edges just the way I've configured, but command prompt and other console app windows don't snap at all. I'm running 3.5.0 beta 8 on XP SP3.
We've done some digging into this, and unfortunately it's not possible for us to fix the XP Command Prompt snapping. We're not able to hook the window, as it's part of the OS (whereas in Windows 7 it's been separated out).

Thanks very much for looking into it anyway. http://www.actualtools.com/support/faq/#tr5 may be of interest.
While my console windows don't snap on XP, the XP version of cmd.exe that I'm running on Windows 7, does snap now I've rebooted.
(The Windows 7 command prompt prefixes any title you set using the "title" command with "Administrator: ", obscuring your title on the task bar icon. The XP version runs fine on W7, it doesn't even need any compatibility settings).
