Dear Eric,

Thanks very much for your reply.

I have the super key and yes I can re-size a window using the mouse
while depressing super, as in previous versions of stumpwm, but it will
not allowing dragging, i.e. moving the whole window. I have also tried
other combinations of keys with the mouse, but all to no avail. Using my
old stumpwm binary (which fortunately I haven't deleted) I can drag
windows with just the mouse and no keys. So I'm guessing that something
has changed, but like you, there seemed to be nothing immediately
obvious in the recent commits.

This now seems to be rejected no matter what follows the colon.

Best wishes,

Colin.
