   I find it convenient to bind resize to right click/drag on title (and
have no or almost no borders).

   another option is to bind resize to click/drag anywhere in the window
with win key modifier (use xev to find out which modifier win key is).

   yet another option is to use non standard button, but that only works
with some version of fvwm (not sure about the details, there's some
problem in how X processes the mouse clicks) - I used to have (my
favourite setup): side button click anywhere in the window - rise/lower,
side button drag (move) anywhere in the window - move, side button with
win key modifier drag - resize (it doesn't work with current stable
version of fvwm, might work with development version).
