This is normally the function of the Window Manager - most modern WMs 
give users the ability to choose whether they want a window to be 
redrawn while they resize, or only when they're done resizing.  Putting 
this choice in the hands of users makes sense, since the folks who have 
faster hardware may *want* to see display updates while resizing.
