Yes, here is the prior art.

But first http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3ft=1048942

Look at postcount #7:

"The video was made with compiz-quinn about two years ago, so it may not be
possible to replicate the settings exactly. Compiz-quinn was an experimental
branch of compiz, which later branched off completely from compiz and became
beryl. Compiz-quinn/beryl contained lots of plugins and configuration options
that were not included when beryl was fused back to compiz to become
compiz-fusion. But for the behaviour of the wobbly windows, you should be able
to achieve something similar by changing the friction/spring parameters. To be
able to peek behind maximized windows instead of unmaximizing them when you pull
the decoration, inactivate "snapoff maximized windows" in the move
windows plugin."

Still, look at 0:20 where you can pull the maximized window to see the desktop
behind it, and then release it:

It is a matter of friction/spring parameter settings how much action you want.
Those settings are adjustable by the user.

Yes, that is prior art to Apple's rubberband patent. That video was uploaded Jul
28, 2006.
