[Qt-interest] DragMove Charm and _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE

[qzvjtml02 at sneakemail.com]

Denis,

	Thank you for the response. I did see that page, but I was unable to  
glean a method of actually programming that into an application. Do  
you know of any examples I could reference? Google hasn't been too  
helpful on that.

	I appreciate your help!
