   That works, but there is a side effect, that may not be desirable.    
   That is that moving one window to a specific location, will cause all    
   windows to move to the same location, stacking them all, exactly, on    
   top of each other. To be complete, do you know how to revert to the    
   previous action, where windows open staggered?
