Well, I just need it under windows right now, it would just be nice if 
it could be done in a cross platform way, but it's not a strict requirement

Oh, but I like the system-drawn title bar with the application icon and 
the big X to close the form ;-)

My main reason is that the layout of the screeen(s) has to be fixed, 
besides avoiding the dragging of the form avoids freezing threads 
waiting on a Synchronize (though dragging a scrollbar will freeze them 
anyway, and that's really bad for my application).
I'm not the only one with such a need (i.e. unmoveable forms), since I 
found that trick somewhere in the internet many years ago.
