Feature request -- multitasking

I have noticed that when moving or resizing a window, the updating of
all other windows is halted during the whole move or resize
operation. This is sometimes annoying, especially if you have a window
with eg a movie playing, because the movie will halt if I move or
resize another window for too long. I assume this could be solved by
threading of some sort, but I do not know enough of either ctwm
internals nor threading to know if this would be a big or complicated
change or not. What do you think?

(OTOH, brining up a menu does *not* interrupt the movie, some perhaps
a similar kind of multitasking is already in effect in another part of
ctwm?)
