The window manager on the Mac II uses a heuristic to decide whether you meant
"this specific rectangle" or "the screen" for your drag bounds.  I believe
that if the drag bounds are the same as those suggested in Inside Mac (inset
four pixels from the edges of the screen and the menu bar) it assumes you
meant "the desktop" and acts accordingly.
