Window Borders - NOT (really) SOLVED

Well, I got the borderless aterm/Eterm (both work with no
border).  However, the keyboard shortcuts to move these types
of windows are not working.

- Control + Shift + Alt + Arrow (up, down, left, or right): 
works only on windows with titlebar/border
- Alt + Left Mouse (drag) works only with bordered window
- Shift + Alt + Arrow (u,d,l,r) works on both types of windows
- Alt + Right Mouse (drag) works only with bordered window

The net effect is that I cannot move a window that has no
border (disclaimer: I don't run gkrellm, so this may not apply
there).Any chance of getting the Move keyboard shortcuts
working before release?
