somewhat related to 1488852

so the dialer app is currently treated like any other window in terms of movement, you can move the dialer app to the point where the dialer application window is not seen "hanging of the screen" so only the title bar of the application is visible.
Also, if the device reboots, this will be the remembered location of the window.

Concern was that the user might move offscreen and struggle to find it quickly for "ending call" or entering numbers at a prompt or changing from loudspeaker to earpiece or wanting to hit mute.

It was discussed whether or not the dialer application should become a "special" application/surface to disallow having any portion of the window being moved offscreen ? Or is this completely ok - e.g. the user wanted to do it and should be allowed to.
Or should the green banner of the dialer app in the shell be used to bring the dialer app back on screen ?
