Style * DumbPlacement, ActivePlacement

Opauqe resizing has been revived recently. It's in the latest betas
(2.3.10 is the last one), but you won't be happy with them as we are
still several serious bugs in them.

In the latest betas the 'HideGeometryWindow' command to do this.

Try
Style * GrabFocusTransient
(also in the 2.3.x betas).
