I have just tested it.
I have also tested it with and without workspace linking and in
combination with the feature turned on/off.

Everything works as expected it should be safe to apply the patch.


I didn't thoroughly look at the code so I'll just ask...
In case when workspace linking is turned off, is it possible to
make a bit borders/area in which window would snap into a corner
without changing some other Windowmaker code?

While testing the feature I have noticed that it is a bit tricky
to pick a corner. You almost need to pinpoint it and you need to
keep your cursor steady while releasing the button. Otherwise it
could chose to snap to horizontal or vertical border.
