Thanks Mathias.  Setting to "BottomRight" fixes my troubles.

I did a lot of googling when trying to figure out the name of what I
was experiencing (eventually coming across "quadrant resizing") and it
led me to http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Editing_the_init_file
which gave the info which I originally posted with.  It does make
sense to put it in the keys file though.

Thanks for the help!
