You know, like fucking querying absolute window positions? Can't even do something so basic.
And this is a problem by design because of the stubborn idiots who designed it. It's not something you can fix with a patch (even though it would be easy), because it will get rejected since it goes against their hysterical paranoid design and pseudo "security".
