Desktop containment question

Hi,
Right now, there is no possibility to place widgets so that they go off the
desktop edge. If you place them like that, they pop back in when the widget
handles disappear.
The problem is not the first fact, but the pop-back-in behavior is a bit
peculiar. Proposed solution would be not to allow widgets to move that far if
they can not remain there later.
The second thing that (IMO) would cool is to allow the border of the widget to
go out of the screen (or not to paint that border at all) but not the
contents. In ASCII art, it would be something like this:
# is the border of the widget, | is screen edge, + is widget contents
Normal widget:
| #######
| #+++++#
| #+++++#
| #+++++#
| #######
Widget at the screen edge:
|######
|+++++#
|+++++#
|+++++#
|######
Cheerio!
