> This message allows an application to initiate window movement or
resizing. This allows the application to define its own move and size
"grips", whilst letting the window manager control the actual operation.
This means that all moves/resizes can happen in a consistent manner as
defined by the WM.

> When sending this message in response to a button press event, button
SHOULD indicate the button which was pressed, x_root and y_root MUST
indicate the position of the button press with respect to the root
window and direction MUST indicate whether this is a move or resize
event, and if it is a resize event, which edges of the window the size
grip applies to. When sending this message in response to a key event,
the direction MUST indicate wether this this is a move or resize event
and the other fields are unused.

> The Window Manager can use the button field to determine the
events on which it terminates the operation initiated by the
_NET_WM_MOVERESIZE message. Since there is a race condition between
client sending the _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE message and the user releasing
the button, Window Managers are advised to offer some other means to
terminate the operation, e.g. by pressing the ESC key.
