One question mark would be enough unless you are trying to
do more than ask a question.

I don't know if your original question was clear enough.
Doing it "like blackbox" doesn't mean anything to me.
If you invoke resize while inside a window, the wire frame will
appear and resizing happens as the pointer reaches an edge.

If you start resizing the top edge then manuver the pointer to the
corner, then it will resize two edges, and so on.

Fvwm always waits til the pointer gets to an edge. If it didn't
it would be pretty hard to control the operation so that only the
edge desired got moved.

Dominik referred to a patch where as soon as the resize operation
started, the pointer was moved to the closest edge. Is that what
you want? Lots of people don't like the pointer being moved outside
their control.

I don't think thats what you want. Maybe you should re-ask your
question supplying more detail.
