well... that is what i want
sorry i reffer to blackbox still (as i'm using fvwm for sometime now)
there, when you hit alt+mouse right , resize starts right away in the
direction you move your mouse
its like you press the border, but you don't have to get your mouse all the
way there
I think this is Very convinient, I don't see why i have to enlarge a window,
just to make it small
p.s - sorry for the two question mark, a habbit
