Yes that's nice for resizing windows using the keyboard but that's still
slow compared to holding Alt and right clicking the window.
I'm using 1.0.9-2 and you're right, I have to use an arrow key before being 
able to resize by mouse. 
It would be nice to correct that bug so we could resize by ALT+F8+mouse.
Or better, being able to configure icewm so that ALT+F8 would become one single
key.
What do you think about that?
