Very Minor xfwm Request

xfwm uses attraction and repulsion instead of resistence when window
snapping is on. Occasionally I find this inconvinient - there are
little 5 pixel borders around my windows where I can place other
windows. While that usually doesn't matter, there are a few occasions
where I have to micromanage my screen real estate, and then it does
get in the way.

Also, when friends use the machine they find the "feel" of the WM in
this mode to be rather jarring.

Would it be possible to reverse this, or are you commited to the
behaviour Olivier? The idea would be that instead of windows snapping
to a window border when they are within a certain number of pixels you
have to push "harder" to cross borders.

Did that make sense?
