n.b. This won't matter--Not only is a complex function needed to
properly move a window by clicking and dragging, but
EWMHActivateWindowFunc is called when you try to start dragging the
gkrellm window.

The only way I know of to get work around all this is to either call
Move in a context that it doesn't have a window (i.e. the cursor changes
and then you click and drag someplace on the gkrellm window), or to have
a move binding that captures the mouse before gkrellm has a chance (e.g.
I have mod3-mouse1 bound to a complex function that immediately runs
move.) (The latter appears to be one thing the original poster
mentioned as working.)
