Thing is, I've tried changing that file to lock and drag, and I don't 
get anything different on my 1 GHz Powerbook G4 15" (last 15" TiBook 
; today's announcements are on Albooks). Any suggestions on how I can 
try again and test? I just tried dragging a terminal window and it 
didn't respond.

Haven't tried opt-F2 hwoever.
