i have this three buttons on my titlebars

Mouse 0         2       A       Function "window_ops_func"
Mouse 0         4       A       Resize
Mouse 0         6       A       Iconify

but from time to time i remove them and get window_ops_func from 
right-clicking on the titlebar, so i can resize windows without
using handles or borders at all.

and pretty used to middle-clicking on the background and using the 
window ops menu to raise or resize windows anyway.

a tabed gtk terminal emulator. i administer clusters of application 
servers and oracle servers, and i need to log in on 15+ machines, but
the sight of 15 rxvt side to side get me nervous... two dzt windows
get me going nicely.

i used dual heads before, but a combination of sticky windows and fvwmmodules
with xinerama is what i prefer now. and from time to time i stretch a
window across the screens, specially big database diagrams and such.
