Short versions:
- Linux (defaults for Kubuntu) Alt-F3, M, then use cursor keys, hit Enter to set position;
- Windows XP Alt-Space, M, then use cursor keys, hit Enter to set position.
Alt-F3 / Alt-Space enters the “window menu” or “window configuration menu” for the currently focussed application / program.
M is the underlined letter in Move, this will then bring up the “compass” cursor over the window to be moved.
Cursor keys – up, down, left, right – then move the window around.
Enter key exits the window menu leaving the window in the newly set position.
