Another problem with WPS is the ability to move and resize windows.
I would like to drag a window by grabbing any part of the border and 
moving it around. I don't want this to resize the window. That way I 
could grab the bottom border and move the window off the top of the
screen and out of the way. When I want it back, I just grab the little
piece of the border and pull it down. 

The windows should have resize corners for size changes. When I resize
a window I would like to make it any size that I want and let the font 
scale. 

Actually what I want is a combination of OpenLook and DeskView X.
