You want every piece of GNUstep and it's apps to honor such settings?

Not sure wether it's a good idea to burden GNUstep with this 
misbehaviour of the window management. If a window manager uses live 
window moving, it should move the contents as well and not ask the app 
to redraw the window over and over.
