Timoth=C3=A9e, could you send or place a screen capture somewhere with th=
is gray area?  Another thing you could do is force an aspect ratio on the=
 window rather than display some area as a different color, i.e., an abil=
ity to resize by mouse, but not independently in both dimensions.

I like the X11 behavior, but it isn't critical that other window platform=
s behave the same way.  Maybe an alternative from X11 is good at this poi=
nt.
