We definitly need a drag handle for spatial windows somewhere.
Some brainstorming:

a Use whole statusbar as drag handle (is this sane/intuitive?)
b Use menu in statusbar on the left as drag handle
c Middle-clicking background and moving starts drag
d Use menubar as drag handle
e Add special area to menubar on the right with a folder icon, use this
as drag handle
f Have a folder icon at the edge of (always displayed) scrollbars as
drag handle (cp. gimp)

b and c could turn out to work nicely. Should I give an implementation a
try?
