You are not free move the Deskbar window like most application windows.
Using the Ctrl+Alt+Left Mouse Button to drag the window simulating the
dragger is okay. I am not against it in principle, I just don't think it
is that useful because it is not discoverable.

dragging.

The Deskbar Window is not resizable, therefore Ctrl+Alt+Right Mouse Button
should do nothing. How would you propose resizing the Deskbar window to
work?
I have a patch in the works to configurably increase the size of the
Deskbar icons here: https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7132. Perhaps if that
ticket were to be finished and accepted you could use the Ctrl+Alt+Right
Mouse Button to resize the Deskbar icons which would effectively increase
the area of the Deskbar window.
