Hi Sean,

Nahh, because I always use the
"<ALT>-right-mouse-click-and-drag" way to resize a window.

Well, first I tried out-commenting the two "constrain"-calls 
in line 2579 and 2606 (the resize section) - and that didn't 
work, but the other way around did - kool! :-)

I guess I could, but how would BB's window placement react? 
would it place new windows reletive to the current view, or 
the entire workspace?
