I think that is a Windows thing, so no I don't think it's possible. I could be wrong though.

I think the game keeps running when you drag the window. The stage is just not updated.
I mean, if a certain object is moving, and you drag the window, it looks like the game is paused. But once you release the window... the object jumps to where its supposed to be. That makes me think the game isn't paused, but the graphics are just not updated during drag.
So, maybe not very nice, but I don't think its a problem.
You could force fullscreen, that way they can't drag the window :)
