With native windows on OS versions supporting the newer resize approach, isn’t there some magic involving a one pixel or otherwise almost invisible border? Would quartz-wm have to supply that as window-dressing to give something to grab hold of? Or would it need access outside of what X11 normally offers to do the same thing?
