Good luck! The real problem is that you will loose your cut/paste capability
if you do this with just a Click, along with messing up alot of other
applications. If you make it Control-Click, you will not be able to alter
your xterm settings and such.

What I have settled with is to bind it to Meta-Click (The diamonds on my
Sparc5 keyboard by the space bar). This was the best compromise I could
find.

I use this:
Mouse 1 W M Raise

Not exactly the convienience of Win95, but still alot better then hunting
for a window border.
