XMoveWindow/XResizeWindow sometimes do not work

[Kaifeng Zhu]

I meet a problem that XMoveWindow/XResizeWindow/XMoveResizeWindow do not work in following scenario:
1. Drag the title tar of a window (e.g., a terminal window) to the top edge of the screen to maximize it.
2. Click the restore button in the title bar to restore the window.
3. Programmatically call XMoveWindow/XResizeWindow/XMoveResizeWindow to move/resize the window -- failed (the window in the screen does not move nor change the size, and ConfigureNotify events always come with the unchanged position and size).

If maximizing the window by clicking the maximize button instead, those move/resize API's work well. But once maximized the window by dragging the title bar, it no longer correctly responds move/resize API's.
