This is a work-around rather than a solution, but for what it's worth, you
might try putting something like

Mouse 2 W CM Resize

in your .fvwmrc. This line lets you resize a window by starting a
click-and-drag from _anywhere inside a window_, dragging until you hit a
margin and then resizing it. (As it is set above, one must use the second
mouse button while holding down both the control and meta key). This
works on maximized windows as well.

Hope this helps.
