For MOVE, you have to provide the initial mouse button and click
position. For MOVE_KEYBOARD, there is no initial mouse button or click
position. For MOVE_KEYBOARD, you would normally grab the keyboard and
mouse, and end the move on a mouse click anywhere, or if the user
presses Escape; for MOVE, you would not grab keyboard or end move on
Escape. Those are just some examples, I think there are more
differences.

Resizing is even more totally different between mouse/keyboard, the
keyboard-resize mode in Windows is fairly elaborate and involves
warping the mouse pointer around temporarily.

Maybe start with the simple question: what's a tray? ;-) I haven't
used icewm. How is a tray different from a task list?
