Well you could use the delegate's -windowDidMove:  methods and let that simply
move it back, but I guess that wouldn't be too visually pleasing.

If you don't mind getting low down, use PostScript operators directly:

  windo, orderwindow etc.  

It might be a little difficult to get a View hierarchy onto that, so
you'll probably have to do drawing via straight PostScript as well.
