Re: Problem resizing windows horizontally

[Laurent de Segur <ldesegur@mac.com>]

Michel,

Was I wrong assuming that under 4.1.x, the lines in the "Module" section:

SubSection "extmod"
 Option "omit xfree86-dga"
EndSubSection

automagically load the "extmod", and therefore, I don't need to add a Load
"extmod" for this module? At least, that is why the comment above indicates.

At any rate, even adding the line with Load "extmod" just above the
SubSection doesn't correct the problem.

Did I precisely stated that this problem only shows up in specific themes
(no right window frame handle) in sawfish exclusively? windowmaker works
without any problem.
