Not yet. I will now, though. :) FYI, Sawfish seems to be rock solid with
opaque move/resize turned on.

I also noticed a really strange situation where grabbing and moving a
window, directly over the display's root, occasionally "lets go"
prematurely and leaves the window behind while the mouse button is still
held down. I read most of the XDirectFB cursor code yesterday; the only
thing I could really come up with is to try warping the cursor in the
window's resize/move code to try to correct for the "drift". I'm pretty
sure that's the wrong approach, though. ;)

I'm planning to pull down the gdk/gtk+ tarballs just to make sure I
can't reproduce the strangeness there.
