X-windows question

See more:

In X-windows, when the user "grabs" the border of a window and resizes it, Many, many
events are generated - but there is no event corresponding to the
mouse-up signaling the end of the resizing action! (because the border
areas don't belong to us - they belong to the window manager - and the
window manager doesn't tell us about finishing!!!

Does anyone know what the event or event sequence should be that
definitively defines the action we are trying to detect?
