I don't know, I can't find any existing Emacs code that does something like
frame dragging.  But it seems this is not needed because many window managers
already support this feature where it's easy to drag the frame
after clicking anywhere in the frame while holding a modifier key.
So if no one has an idea how to implement the same in Emacs,
this request could be closed.
