Without testing I just get the feeling that this would be ineffective since I know that I much more often move a window than go to it's menu. A small grip will probably be annoying to always find with your cursor. The whole title bar provides a much easier and faster way of rearranging windows.
I made some sketching on this and came up with a mockup which you can find here:
The three top images is describing the solution we've talked about and the fourth image is an extension of the implementation we've discussed. This implementation is possible today thanks to a plugin, but it would be sweet to have it natively.

I like that idea:
Consistent (menu/title toggle as for maximized window now, than simply
for all windows)
and contextual (it's clear where every menu belongs to).
Additionally to the before mentioned idea of a menu/title toggle button
next to the window controls, i could also imagine a window grip button
for moving the window when the whole title bar is occupied by menus for
moving the window.
