In contrast to Riccardo I prefer having live resize and I like your  
patch.
I've just tested it on my old 550MHz PowerBook running GNUstep on OS X
and it is a bit sluggish there, but I find it still usable -- at least
with the art backend. The xlib backend seems to be worse in this  
respect.
(Unfortunately, I can't test the cairo backend on that machine).

In order to keep Riccardo happy you might introduce a new user  
default to
switch between live and non-live resize. However, given that the changes
appear quite substantial upon a superficial look, I don't know whether
this is feasible.
