Well, where do I start?
1) Unlike many helpful responses, I only had to  press the left Alt key 
and move the window, and it worked immediately.  Wow,  ... thank you!

2) Now I can click on any libre office window, and it pops down to a 
less than full screen, and moves at will.  I don't know if I 'toggled' a 
feature on, or what, because it works now without pressing the left Alt key.

3) Re: the different window manager issue, I agree, it seems that it 
might be a non-libre office issue, except that the gedit corner feature 
works on the same environment.

Nevertheless, thank you!

John
