OK - I did that for those two.

I am just about to push out similar changes for close_window,
minimize_window and maximize_window.  If they reduce some
functionality then please let me know and I will write it so that
it checks for an edge and only uses activeWindow then.

If close_window is used with edge+edgebutton then it crashes
which is obviously a problem elsewhere.  Is it fairly obvious to
you where this bug would be?  Otherwise I'll track that down too,
I assume it must be just a case of setting the correct allowed
actions hint on edges?
