you are refering to the official documentation or something you found
somewhere in the interwebs?

the resize-mode setting was moved into the keys-file. and thus you can
find the documentation here at

  http://fluxbox.org/help/man-fluxbox-keys.php

which reads like:

  StartResizing [corner]
     Start dragging to resize the window as if you had grabbed
     the window at the specified corner.

     By default corner is BottomRight, but may be overridden with one
     of:

        NearestCorner NearestEdge
        TopLeft Top TopRight
        Left Center Right
        BottomLeft Bottom BottomRight

so, you should change the "StartReszing" line in your .fluxbox/keys
file to something you like (i'd assume "bottom" will please you :))

cheers,
mathias
