Resize by Alt-Middle-Mouse broken entirely? Weird... sounds like some  
server change/breakage.

The default keybindings file has some disabled entries:
# Move/resize using keyboard
#KeyDown   CS        m wop * move kbd
#KeyDown   CS        s wop * size kbd

If you enable them (copy /usr/share/e16/config/bindings.cfg to ~/.e16,  
remove #), you can move/resize the focused window by keyboard.
Start with Ctrl-Shift M/S, move/resize using arrow keys, end with Enter,  
cancel with Escape.

There is a problem wrt. the iconbox though, as it won't get focus.
The simplest solution, I think, is to use eesh, e.g.
$ eesh win_op Iconbox size <width> <height>
or
$ eesh win_op Iconbox size kbd
and use keyboard as outlined above.
