Re: [wmii] resizal of windows over fs/keyboard

The Problem with geom files is, that it does not represent how clients
in managed mod are handled. You just can't move a client in the left
column to the left, you can't resize the first of three clients in a
column over the third one. I don't have any better solution but geom
files don't feel right in managed mode.
Perhaps it would be better to move the barrier between two
columns/clients. One Problem about this is that you have to know what
barrier you have to move. Some commands like move left +30, or move up
- -30 would be needed to move the left/upper barrier of the focused client
and a way to directly address a barrier.
This does not look perfect, but it would represent the managed mode more
clearly.
