I even use ResizeMaximize instead of the normal Resize command. My windows usually start at a standard size and position. When a different geometry is needed, I just draw-resize them as usual, and when I'm done with them I simply "unmaximize" them. This concept effectively introduces a mini stack of window sizes allowing to temporarily modify the geometry and restoring the original one with a single key press.
