Yeah I found that one too. fun! :)
You can also get around it by switching the column to default/max mode.

Grab boxes sure are fucked.

Yeah, there's some oddity with intracolumn resizals, I had a look the
other day when iarwain mentioned it on IRC but couldn't see any
problems... needs some more effort.

You should certainly be able to place windows wherever you like using
the mouse. I should check whether any of my changes affected this (the
one that prevents wmii from crashing when dragging a window over the
bar seems a somewhat likely candidate)... but I need sleep now - I'll
try to give it a look tomorrow along with that rc.wmii -> wmiirc entry
point (the one thing I /didn't/ try).
A for attention to detail, Chris. I would have given you an A+ if
you'd also spotted that wmii segfaults on startup if it can't get an X
connection (eg. DISPLAY is unset). ;)
