Apps shouldn't be bothered with resizing and moving at all, but
_NET_WM_MOVERESIZE is better then actually doing it themselves. Also note
that some WMs don't snap, but have edge resistance (i.e. one-sided snap so
that the window can't be pushed outside the screen area easily, but can be
freely moved inside it), and apps doing snapping themselves again ruin 
interface consistency.
