Also using 375.20 on Arch.
In my Debian and Fedora VMs, which use Mesa, it's pretty good.

We'd like it to work properly on the newer version of ubuntu but I don't think we've got enough time to debug it on there.
Just doing minimal testing on it.
I will fire it up and check for regressions though...
Awesome Donkey:
I double checked with a clean install of Ubuntu 16.10 in a VM with Mesa, and it works pretty good. I'll double check and clean install my Arch and Linux Mint VMs too, but it's likely related to the use of the newest Nvidia proprietary driver.
However, resizing the window is still a bit flaky in regards to the window redrawing and the window moves itself when it shouldn't.

It will start to move when you reach the minimum window size for MC when you are resizing.
I'm trying to get my 16.04 going now. I don't think I've got a 16.10 install.
IIRC, I ran into issues getting the proprietary driver going on 16.04
Awesome Donkey:
Okay, I've checked all my VMs (Debian and Fedora) and clean reinstalled my Ubuntu 16.10, Linux Mint and Arch Linux VMs all using Mesa, and dragging around the MC window works fine. Resizing is where things get a bit dicey - especially when trying to resize MC's window to the edges of the screen. It just doesn't want to be resized right up to the screen's edge. This occurs even with Mesa in VMs and the Nvidia proprietary driver.
So yeah, it's likely the proprietary Nvidia driver at work here in regards to dragging MC's window around. Sadly, I can't exactly try getting rid of it (since Maxwell support in Nouveau is pretty terrible) and am pretty much forced to keep using the proprietary driver. Newer kernels/Xorg Server might have something to do with it too, not sure.
Fortunately, it is of little issue to me as I typically keep the window maximized. Just wanted to make sure it works. ;)

Good to hear you got it working.
I finally got my 16.04.1 install working with the nvidia driver version 370 with 2 monitors and all seems fine. I can actually push it a little past the upper edge of the screen.
I'm going to see if I have enough space left to install 16.10 and test that as well.
