Yes. But I wanted to say that at least it is possible with Wayland to 
ask the window manager to start moving a window. They implemented that 
because they wanted the windows to be decorated by the client, and 
managed on its own decision.

Only the client application can decide exactly when its window should be 
moved, but it cannot know where it is. Go figure the logic...
