This can't be duplicated exactly without pathing the code. But if
you can live with pressing a key or mouse button to scroll the
window back there is a solution:
Mouse 1 tsfw CM PipeRead "move_into_view.sh $w $[w.x] $[w.y] $[w.width] $[w.height] $[vp.width] $[vp.height]"
Pressing Control-Alt-Button-1 over a window will call the
move_into_view.sh bourne shell script below and give it all
parameters it has to know to move the window into full view.
Unfortunately this click is passed to the application also.
