And caused a reciprocal problem in the past.

I don't.... what do you do more? Move the window? Or drag contacts  
around?  In any case, switching back doesn't solve a problem; it just  
moves the onus of the problem onto a different function, moving the  
non-standard window rather than dragging contacts around the non- 
standard window.

Yea, a meta modifier is way in the past and should never come back in  
any form.

Except you have to actually press command first to see the new cursor.

The right solution is for the borderless contact list to display a  
HUD-style titlebar when hovered, IMO.  Or, at least, it'd be a closer  
to right solution.
