Use the pager! Just drag your mondo-sized image on the pager whereever you like. That's what I ordinarily do when I'm editing an image larger than my desktop. Another option is to have a larger virtual desktop, although I don't much like that (this is done in your /etc/X11/XF86Config, man XF86Config). I thought resizing was the intended use of handles, which is why they're located on portions of the frame where it would make sense to resize; I've always moved frames using titlebars, as long as they're visible. OTOH, I don't use fvwm (unless the only alternative is KDE; heh, heh!) It sounds like your window manager desktop preferences have changed with your new package, perhaps options regarding what happens on the edge of your desktop; I don't recall any border or handle preferences. I've never experienced the behavior you're describing, but I recall there being some kind of a new configuration file scheme for fvwm derivatives, so perhaps you can specify your old config file (man fv..). You might also consider one of the fvwm configuration utilities, if they have that for bo, either the "dotfile" package(s) or I think I saw a new fvwm configuration utility the other day in slink..I know you have bo but you might want to have a look at it anyway. If you're having bug-like behavior, try re-installing; I've had a couple rare instances where upgrades caused titlebars and borders (hence handles) to disappear, or make all frames immovable. It doesn't sound like this is what you're experiencing, however. --
