Using the Fluxbox WM (~1 year old version) on Debian:


The resizing control (and window border) are there when you first create
the window with d.mon, but disappear as soon as you call anything (eg
d.erase). `d.mon stop=xN && d.mon start=xN` doesn't always bring them 
back unless you start/stop a different number monitor first.

The above two code changes don't have any affect, AFAICT.

Are there any verbose xwininfo options that may be of help for checking
the window's state?
