I don't know how this works on MS Windows -- although I
would be surprised if window maximizing/minimizing/resizing/...
did not have their own events there and was bound to mouse
and keyboard events -- but at least on X the window is
resized by the window manager.  The app does not get any key
or mouse events related to it, just a configure event.
