GUI from mods cannot be moved. So, yea, it is hopeless right now.
But let's hope for the API for draggable window when the devs are improving the GUI system for 0.16.

On moving GUI things... It would be nice if GUI move was generalized so any click and hold on a non-control (empty frame) could grab the frame to move it instead of having to move it from the top region (although I guess all borders work; but I found it easy to add just 'clicked on blank frame' in my own code instead of just borders).

Meh. Borders are for resizing windows. I kinda like most of the GUI widgets used by KSP mods do it: explicitly enable moving/resizing the GUI widgets. But I'm good either way.

Not in factorio :) Or other fixed size form dialogs can be moved by grabbing any edge; probably as a byproduct of resizing and then adjusting the other side to maintain the same size.
Most(all?) non-mod dialogs in factorio have a border that you can grab in addition to the title region.
I'm merely suggesting if click-hold is done on a frame background; areas that do not have a control over it, that it does the same thing.

I'm saying how it should be, not how it is.
