           Summary: Usability: Option to prevent windows from moving out
                    of screen area
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin-bugs-null@kde.org
        ReportedBy: d.h.j.takken@xs4all.nl


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

When the titlebar of a window somehow ends up off screen, it is not exactly
trivial to get it back again. Especially for novice users, it may not be
possible to close or move the window. You have to know some 'expert' tricks -
like holding ALT and dragging - to solve the problem.

Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
It may be a good idea to have the possibility to configure KWin to prevent
'accidents' like this from happening. And how about displaying a hint, briefly
flashing on top of the window, telling the user how to move the window back
again.
