        resizing.  This allows the application to define its own move and size
	"grips", whilst letting the window manager control the actual operation.
	This means that all moves/resizes can happen in a consistent manner as 
	defined by the WM.

>	When sending this message in response to a button press event, button 
	SHOULD indicate the button which was pressed, x_root and y_root MUST 
	indicate the position of the button press with respect to the root 
	window and direction MUST indicate whether this is a move or resize 
	event, and if it is a resize event, which edges of the window the size 
	grip applies to. When sending this message in response to a key event, 
	the direction MUST indicate wether this this is a move or resize event 
	and the other fields are unused.

	events on which it terminates the operation initiated by the
        _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE message. Since there is a race condition between 
	client sending the _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE message and the user releasing

	terminate the operation, e.g. by pressing the ESC key.
