I am not sure why it is named standard, "minimal" would be a better name.
The minimal defaults (when there is no configuration at all) are not
supposed to be fully featured or convinient, just to have move and resize.

The behaviour that you describe, i.e. the mouse button 1 resizes a window
anywhere on the frame is pretty standard. At least that is what I saw in
most of window manager configurations including fvwm and (tried in Xnest)
the default configurations of mwm, sawfish, enlightenment, wmaker, icewm.
I suggest you to add a window move by binding it to mouse button 2.
You may add these or similar lines to your ~/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc:
Mouse 1 SF A Resize
Mouse 2 SF A Move
Here is an example of some more featured window frame bindings:
Mouse 1 SF A ResizeOrRaiseOrShade
Mouse 1 T A MoveOrRaiseOrShade
Mouse 2 SF A MoveOrRaiseLower
Mouse 2 T A MoveOrRaiseLower
AddToFunc ResizeOrRaiseOrShade
+ H Resize
+ M Resize
+ C Raise
+ D WindowShade
AddToFunc MoveOrRaiseOrShade
+ H Move
+ M Move
+ C Raise
+ D WindowShade
AddToFunc MoveOrRaiseLower
+ H Move
+ M Move
+ C RaiseLower
