Yes.

But I think DoDi was referring to floating windows, that means top level
windows, not child windows.
For example it would be nice, to have an event when the window title is
dragged by the user. But since some window themes do not have a title,
or use other other means to drag a window, I guess, this will never
work every where. Of course someone might implement it at least for
some common cases. Then the docking system can omit the dock drag area
for floating windows on these platforms, which would be a bit nicer.
