How to move window offscreen with wmctrl
<p>I am trying to programmatically move a window so that it is partially on screen.  For instance, clicking the VLC title bar and dragging it so that only half the window is visible works just fine.</p>

<p>When I output the results of <code>wmctrl -lG</code> this works just fine:</p>

<pre><code>0x04a00011  0 -293 138  600  420  HEVM002 VLC media player
</code></pre>

<p>However, when I then move it back on screen and try and replicate its position, it doesn't work and clips the window to the far side:</p>

<pre><code>wmctrl -r "VLC media player" -e 0,-200,0,800,600
</code></pre>

<p>I have tested on a couple of window managers, and it seems to work fine on xfwm but NOT on compiz.  Is there a flag or something like that I can set to enable moving windows off-screen?</p>
