[Qt-interest] Move a top level QWidget under gnome

[Dong Tiger]

My program is google gadget for linux, actually. Gadgets are top level
windows without WM decoration.
So I implemented this drag&move mechanism to move gadgets around.

Other windows can be dragged from one display to another. And ggl-gtk works
correctly. I may have to
check how ggl-gtk does this.
