Thanks, but I wish it were that simple.
I've got the resize box in the title bar for xfish, but it doesn't work.
I tried looking at / fiddling with the window hints for the xfish window in
the source code but couldn't really find anything that worked.

To clarify my earlier question : Generally, is there a window attribute that
allows / disallows a window manager's resizing it ? (I'm looking not only
for an answer to my specific xfish question, but also for a better feel for
"the whole X thang." )

Thanks again!
