User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072610 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: 

The idea: clicking the clock shows my calendar and clicking again hides it. But apparently that doesn't work so well in practise.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install Orage freshly. Remove the clock plugin in the Xfce panel and add the Orage Clock instead. Finally, untick the settings to show the border and the menubar of the window (look below why I can't lookup the exact menu item names).
Actual Results:  
I cannot move the window without the keyboard anymore. I cannot access the settings anymore.

Expected Results:  
Dragging the window should move it, for instance there is some space in the upper bar between the arrows. Or even the highlighted row headers. Plus right-clicking the window should show a context menu, or maybe just open the settings.

I see this as a broken feature, thus I hope you don't mind me tagging this as 'major'. Setting Orage up as described above renders the calendar almost unusable for a normal user. And the fact that I am able to track down configuration files and edit them manually doesn't help much here.

You can access the Orage settings either
1) from the panel tray orage icon (if that is in use)
2) from the Xfce settings manager
3) by selecting Orage settings from the settings menu (from the desktop menu)
4) by the command "orage -p" either from terminal or from the Xfce command
window (alt-f2) 

You can move the window with the followings ways using xfwm4 window manager:
   * use Alt + left click while the pointer is anywhere over the window frame and move the mouse
   * use Control + Alt + Shift + (up, down, left or right) Arrow keyboard shortcut

But true you need keyboard to do that. It is fairly easy however to move the 
window first to wanted position and then after that disable the border. I don't
this you need to move the main window that often.

Apparently my use case isn't supported then. Fair enough. :)
