While we're hijacking this thread for our own purposes, I have a couple 
of requests for OS X software that might exist, but I can't find:

- I'd like to press a crazy, unused modifier combo (say, Shift-Alt) and 
have click-and-drag move the entire window that I'm 
clicking-and-dragging on. I'm tired of slogging all the way to the top 
of the window just to move it.
- I generally have gem_server, plus one or two rails servers of my own 
running, and because I like to be able to a)flip to the logs quickly, 
and b)start/stop the servers in very few keypresses, I generally keep 
'em each open in their own Terminal window. That creates clutter 
quickly. Now, I might investigate 1)screen, 2)iTerm, 3)creating my own 
start/stop daemonizer bash script for the purpose, but what I'd really 
like is a stupid little Cocoa app that I could wire up to random shell 
scripts, and that gave me a bunch of Start/Stop and View Log buttons, 
akin to the System Controls thing that the MySQL dmg gives me. 
Basically, Locomotive, but without using Locomotive. :)

Sorry about that...
