Well, I suppose that would do in a pinch, but it is handy to stretch a
window wide (say, to view long log lines) and stretch it back. This is a
action that is easier to do with the mouse than by typing. XEmacs has
always had this capability. On my Mac while stretching a window it updates
the window title with the current dimensions. On Solaris it floats a little
window with the current dimensions over the center of the stretching window.
(I imagine the different I observe between Mac and Solaris have more to do
with the window manager being used than the OS.)
I see that TextEdit doesn't show window dimensions during resize either.
Maybe it's a Mac GUI standard thing that users shouldn't care how big their
windows are. Still would be real nice to have in my opinion. Is there some
Emacs command being executed I can hook when resizing?
