Re: hyperactive resizing with CSD

[Allin Cottrell <cottrell wfu edu>]

Ah yes, the wm. Actually I generally use sawfish. If I switch to 
xfwm4 the random resizing (mostly?) stops. So maybe I need to take 
this to the sawfish list. But if you have any idea of what 
particular aspect of CSD behavior might conflict with sawfish's 
assumptions that would be very helpful.
