Is it true that you Iris users out there don't move windows very
often?  I have to admit that my use of window systems may be different
than the typical Iris user.  I often have many windows open at the
same time, causing them to overlap, become obscured, etc.  What do you
other Iris users think about this??  Am I in the minority or the
majority?  Would it be irritating to you to spend twenty seconds
moving a window as it now takes in the currently available X Window
System implementation?  Let's hear from others on this issue.
