Hi,

Some of the reasons justifying the feature have actually already been
discussed in this thread (by Martin), but must have been lost in
translations:
- it fits perfectly within oxygen, which makes no distinction between
window decoration and window content (and does so since day one)
- it gives a use to the many empty areas kde applications have
- it improves user experience (thinks the designer and I agree with him)
- it is far more discoverable that the Alt+drag feature
The reasons why it is superior than the Alt+drag feature
- you don't need to press Alt (sorry to state the obvious)
- it only works on *empty areas* whereas Alt works everywhere (that does
not actually make it superior, just different)
- it is far more discoverable that the Alt+drag feature
- it improves user experience

Please provide numbers (or at least application names) to back-up your
statement.
I can easily cite 26 applications which I use dayly and with which there
is no issue.
Can you provide the user survey results or even better, the link to the kde-
usability discussion about this major behaviour change, please ?
No I can't, sorry.
This was discussed on IRC #oxygen, some time last year, just after
kde4.4 was out iirc, when I was actually asked to implement the feature,
which otherwise was not on my todo list.
