I didn't recall where the discussion took place, so sorry if you 
read this post twice.  

A while back there was a somewhat heated discussion regarding whether
you could (and should) be able to move a window without making it 
come to front and be key.  You could already move it without making 
it become the key window, but it always came to front.  

Well thanks to the person that posted the "NXSnapToIconsToGrid" trick
(sorry, I didn't have the post, but that was a cool hack), I kept
digging through the windowPackage.ps file.  In there is the piece
of PostScript that handles mouse downs in the title bar.  

After about 4 hours of making stupid mistakes and hand writing a 
ton of stacks, I got it working.  There are a few changes that you have
to make and so far they seem to work.  Essentially the problem was that 
the window server was checking for the Alternate key being down 
*after* bringing the window to the front.  I moved the "bring to front"
stuff after the check for the Alternate key and it worked, but then 
that screwed up the stack for when there are no keys pressed.  So a 
little monkeying with the stack and it all works!  It's kind of cool,
and there's no speed decreases or anything like that.

If you're interested in getting the changes from me, drop me an e-mail.
If enough people want it then I'll just post the whole chuck of PS that
I changed.  All in all there's about 10 or 15 lines changed, but they're
kind of scattered.

See you.

Paul
