CSD and hyperactive window resizing

Hello all,

I run current Sawfish (with Xfce, but I prefer sawfish to xfwm4) on 
ARCH Linux.

I'm seeing something very annoying with GTK applications that use the 
new-style gnomish client-side decorations.

For the most part these applications work OK (earlier "teething" 
problems such as doubled title bars having been resolved) but here's 
the remaining annoyance: these programs (evince is my paradigm case, 
but probably just because I use it much more than the others) want to 
resize themselves at the drop of a hat.

If I go into evince with the mouse -- aiming to move the program by 
its title bar, to click a button, to click a "twisty" to navigate the 
left-hand contents pane, or to select some text -- some high 
percentage of the time it goes into "resize-me" mode: any further 
mouse motion resizes the window, until I click somewhere, being very 
careful to avoid any motion in the click.

I've tried running xfwm4 in place of sawfish and this nasty behavior 
doesn't occur, so it seems to be a sawfish-specific problem. Any ideas 
on how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
