FVWM: Focus via FvwmIconMan; resizing windows at placement?

I have two questions:

Is it possible to set up FvwmIconMan so that while the mouse is in the
FvwmIconMan list, whatever window the cursor is "on" in the list has focus?
This makes it easy to change focus (especially with click to focus)
without clicking on windows all over the display. You can simply nudge
the mouse up or down a few pixels and focus on whatever window you have
the mouse pointing at. Obviously this might not work well for some
people who constantly bump the mouse, but 'twm' supports something like
this, and it is quite useful.

Second, I still cannot figure out how to resize a window when in
ActivePlacement mode when I have the 3x3 grid. In every other window
manager I know of, clicking-and-dragging allows you to resize the window,
and releasing the button actually places it. I can't get this to work in
fvwm2, .43 or .44. Is is because I'm overriding some functionality with
my function definitions, or is this not possible in fvwm2?
