Description brian.yglesias 2008-11-04 01:28:15 UTC 
Version:           4.1.2 (using KDE 4.1.2)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.3.2 (Gentoo 4.3.2 p1.0) 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

The BII decor has a feature that no other decor has:  The title bar area with the buttons does not occupy the entire top of the window.  It can be moved (if you hold down the shift button) across the top of any given window.

I seem to recall that in older versions of kde the tabs would actually move themselves if two windows were stacked.

It would be nice if the decors were updated a little, as they look very square and 1999-ish.

It may be even nicer if this functionality were integrated as an option for all decors.

BII has a nice tabbing feature but it's appealing definitely needs improving:

BII is no longer provided, thus I'm adjusting the bug report to WONTFIX.
