To do resize, you can just detect a mouse drag that starts in, say the
lower right-hand corner, and then give the real window manager hints to
resize the window.  This would work on linux and windows.  This is how
xmms does it (gtk1 app, though).  So you could simulate all aspects of
the real window manager from within a decoration-less window as you have
mentioned, but it would be a lot of work and the usability  would be
questionable.
