-Why can't I resize an xfish window when using twm ?

-More generally, what window attribute allows/disallows resizing?

   twm uses an initialization file called .twmrc (presumable in your home
   directory.)

   Inside of this file a number of options can be set, including specifying
   that certain windows should not have a "title" (the bar with the resize,
   iconify, and focus gadgets)

   If this is what is happening to you (you aren't getting those gadgets) look
   in your .twmrc file for an area that looks like this:

   NoTitle
   {
      "xclock"
      "xload"
      "xfish"
    }

    You may have a number of other files in there, but simply remove the line
    with "xfish" to allow twm to decorate that window with a title bar.
