Interesting, I had noticed this blocking too, but didn't realize it
only occurred with the "wireframe" moving/resizing.
I've just tried it in some other window managers, twm, fvwm, fluxbox,
KDE (kwin). Perhaps not very encouragingly, they almost all seem to
exhibit the same behaviour: windows are blocked from updating when
moving or rezising a window in "wireframe" fashion.
The only (partial) exception was fluxbox, where resizing always occurs
with a wireframe, yet doesn't block. Wireframe *moving* (i.e. with the
"Opaque Window Moving" option disabled), however, does block.
