> They're still immobile, though

As far as I understand, dragging (moving) windows will still work -- the draggable title bar is registered with a similar hint like the kill button. Window placement and moving is now exclusively the job of the compositor -- windows don't even receive move events and they may not have a well-defined position with respect to the screen any more, because the compositor is free to do anything with them.

But you're right, resizing windows will probably not work as it does in X11.

Ah, right. I'd say the useful properties are retained -- you can move a stuck window mostly off the screen if need be. Resizing a stuck window is much less important (at least in my workflow).
