This is a side effect caused by a bug fix. We are still
discussing whether it will stay this way in the next stable
release (2.6.0). You can circumvent your problem by using a
complex function instead of binding the action directly to the
windows. For example, replace

  Mouse 1 T N Move

with

  AddToFunc my_move
  + M Move
  Mouse 1 T N my_move

Yes. Remove all IconBox styles from your config and issue

  Style * IconBox none
