In our tiled window manager, we have a move gadget
        to the right of the title bar.
        Clicking on the gadget warps the pointer to the
        middle of the window.
        The user then moves the pointer to another place
        on the screen and clicks again, and this location
        becomes the new center location of the window.



Why warp the mouse at all, relatively or conditionally?  A lot of confusion
could be avoided by positioning the move gadget, not the window center, at
the location of the second click.  The warp is superfluous noise.
