I use mouse Button-1-move in a window border to resize it. I have always
found it can be tricky to position the mouse correctly since the border is so
narrow - often the action of clicking the button moves the mouse outside the
border (or sawfish thinks it has) and it has some other effect probably on the
adjacent window.
When I saw the new frame-part attribute border-width in 1.7, I thought this
might be the answer, by widening the border.
I can run something like
sawfish-client -e "(set-frame-part-value 'top-border 'border-width 8)"
and after a while all borders on all windows do appear to resize (actually
bottom and side borders are resized too - expected?)
but the "clickable" range of pixels does not appear to have been adjusted.
It still slips off if not on the very edge .
Is there some way of widening the clickable range of any/all window borders in
1.7.1?
If not, would the developer agree that altering the border-width of the frame
class ought to do what I want? Or am I misunderstanding what this is.
And if you can give me a clue where the relevant code is that assigns position
to a mouse click and then decides whdther it was inside a border or not, maybe
I can change it.

P.S. Yes, I know there are other ways of resizing - my default bindings
have mouse-2-move in the title bar.
But that is not as convenient since it e.g. does not allow dragging the
bottom edge "down", only dragging the top/right.
