Hm. I just crufted up a quick test and it worked fine for me. How
are you handling the object redraw? Here's what I hacked up...
int drag_me_handler( FL_OBJECT *obj, int event,
FL_Coord mx, FL_Coord my,
int key, void *raw_event )
{
static int p;
static int q;
static int x;
static int y;
if ( event == FL_PUSH ) {
/*
* Mark the point from which we are to move.
*/
p = mx;
q = my;
x = obj->x;
y = obj->y;
} else if ( event == FL_MOUSE ) {
obj->x = x + ( mx - p );
obj->y = y + ( my - q );
/*
* Redraw the whole form to avoid leaving ortlets around.
* Freeze to avoid flicker of stationary objects.
*/
fl_freeze_form( obj->form );
fl_redraw_form( obj->form );
fl_unfreeze_form( obj->form );
}
return 0;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
FD_try *fd_try;
fl_initialize(&argc, argv, 0, 0, 0);
fd_try = create_form_try();
fl_set_object_posthandler( fd_try->drag_me, drag_me_handler );
fl_show_form(fd_try->try,FL_PLACE_CENTERFREE,FL_FULLBORDER,"try");
fl_do_forms();
return 0;
}

I don't know if this would work or not but you might try catching the
ConfigureNotify event and forcing a redraw of the form with
fl_redraw_form() whenever the form has been moved (refer to the Dirty
Tricks section of the manual for details on how to catch form events).
The other thing which occurs to me is some sort of Pixmap shape_mask
trickery -- refer to your favorite Xlib manual for a discussion of
XSetClipMask() -- though the details would probably be pretty ugly.
