It seems that events related to moving the window should happen in  
every run-loop mode, rather than requiring the juggling provided here.

I mentioned at the hackathon that I think there is a mistake in the  
x11 code (which I keep meaning to look at again but haven't had a  
chance to yet) where it is confusing the window's internal and  
external sizes (with and without the border; the X11 equivalent of the  
frame and bounds) in a couple of places.  Possibly this is related?
