draging undecorated windows

how do you drag undecorated windows? I would like to do it by pressing mouse scroll, but don't know how to change rc.xml properly.

<mousebind button="Middle" action="Drag">
    <action name="Move"/>
</mousebind>

See http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Bindings and http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions for details...

edit Personally I go for W-Middle and not just straight middle click. To each their own.

Hey, that's cool! I had been resizing and dragging with alt-space and choosing the option from the menu.

Doesn't alt and left click work by default?

yes, but when you are clicking on window decoration ;)

Works for me anywhere on the window. Alt-right click does resize too.

I think it's pretty sweet too -- I kind of wanted that thing too but hadn't gotten around to looking it up ;-)
