How can I move back my application window to its original position when
users try to move it?
If I use

shell.addControlListener(new ControlAdapter() {
public void controlMoved(ControlEvent event) {
shell.setLocation(150,100);
}
});

it works, however it restores window location even while the window is
being dragged; It's quite disturbing. I want to move it back when the
user actually releases the mouse and drops the window.

Thanks

Off the top of my head...(so I may be totally off the mark) You might
be able to set a flag in the controlMoved handler and start listening
for mouse up events. Then put the window back in the mouse up event
handler.

Create a window without trim and he won't be able to move it?

Thanks Guys:
I've tried Phil's idea first:

shell.addControlListener(new ControlAdapter() {
public void controlMoved(ControlEvent event) {
moved = true;
}
});
shell.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseUp(MouseEvent me) {
if (moved) {
moved = false;
shell.setLocation(150,100);
}
}
});

I think you thought something like this, right?
This is correct syntactically but it doesn't work. Did I miss something?

Steve's solution is pretty easy, I'll do that unless someone from my
users complain..

My original style was:
shell = new Shell(display,SWT.SYSTEM_MODAL | SWT.TITLE | SWT.BORDER |
SWT.ON_TOP);

Now I use only:
shell = new Shell(display,SWT.SYSTEM_MODAL | SWT.BORDER | SWT.ON_TOP);

Thanks again.
(I am still curious though..)
