i have this three buttons on my titlebars
Mouse 0 2 A Function "window_ops_func"
Mouse 0 4 A Resize
Mouse 0 6 A Iconify
but from time to time i remove them and get window_ops_func from
right-clicking on the titlebar, so i can resize windows without
using handles or borders at all.
and pretty used to middle-clicking on the background and using the
window ops menu to raise or resize windows anyway.

a tabed gtk terminal emulator. i administer clusters of application
servers and oracle servers, and i need to log in on 15+ machines, but
the sight of 15 rxvt side to side get me nervous... two dzt windows
get me going nicely.

i used dual heads before, but a combination of sticky windows and fvwmmodules
with xinerama is what i prefer now. and from time to time i stretch a
window across the screens, specially big database diagrams and such.
