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

I liked the behaviour of Takashi's patch a little better wrt what

in the click area.

My vodka consumption is minimal and I don't have the shakes, but
I found it difficult to precisely hit the edge of a window and
click / drag to resize...
