nanogui: Thread: nxkbd & nanowm: Don't move

Hi!
Is it possible to tell nanowm in any way that windows shall not be moved when
the pointer is clicked and dragged in them?
The nasty effect is that every time I tap on the nxkbd the keyboard flickers
and is moved a bit. Npanel does not do so but here the focus does not seem to
work right (at least no input reaches the nterm ;)
Apart from this: VERY nice!

I've got this designed, but there was so much stuff in pre2
that I decided to release before I finished it.  Basically,
there's going to be a set of GR_WM_PROPS window
property bits that will disallow movement and other
things, settable for each window.  Pre2 only has the
NOFOCUS flag set, I'll implement a NOMOVE flag
tonight.  I've got another whole set of flags I'm building
that will also allow the window to be shown
without the caption bar, close box, etc, etc.

Npanel is pretty much outdated at this point.

Thanks.  Keep up the comments, I need them for pre3,
and I'll try to get that out here quickly.

I also found this a problem with nxkbd.  My fix (until Greg provides the
proper way to do it with window properties) was to add
GR_EVENT_MASK_BUTTON_UP to the GrSelectEvents() call in
demos/nxkbd/nxkbd.c.

See the code comments for the GsDeliverButtonEvent() function in
nanox/srvevent.c for why this provides a workaround to the problem.

I've about got 0.89pre3 done, it has a GR_WM_PROPS_NOMOVE
that is added to nxkbd, telling the window manager not to move the
window.  However, we're really talking about not moving the
window only when the mouse is in the client area, this was added
for testing purposes, and involves a quick change in nanowm.  I'll
take out the client-window move as well.
