[lug] Is there a way move the active window under my cursor?

[Jeffrey S. Haemer]

Matt,

Thanks. That doesn't do same thing in Unity (not surprising, but worth a
try).

The most promising of the things I tried was Ctl-Alt-<Num (keypad)>, which
does move the window around to a predictable spot on the monitor it's on,
but doesn't move it between monitors.

Seems like the behavior I described would be a nice feature. I suppose I
could file a suggestion somewhere, see if any of the Unity contributors
like it, too, but for now I'll settle for dragging windows around.
