Left clicks work. Right/middle do not (as expected, I guess).

I liked the behaviour of Takashi's patch a little better wrt what
happens when you try to click/drag, because he disabled movement
in the click area.

I found it difficult to precisely hit the edge of a window and
click / drag to resize...
