It seems that root coordinates would be better, especially as they come
in the ButtonPress / ButtonRelease events.

I think it needs the coordinate clarification, and perhaps a rationale
added to _NET_MOVE_RESIZE to clarify the semantics. There are probably
also bugs in the use of MUST / SHOULD, but it's basically OK. 

I could drop this in this week, and mail it off to Havoc. 

BTW is this list dead ? Is anyone intending to implement the spec as it
