The focus on physical placement reminds me of an altercation during the Sunningdale negotiations in the seventies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunningdale_Agreement) in which Ian Paisley allegedly refused to vacate the chair at the head of the table. I think he had to be physically moved, possibly while still attached to the chair.
