Then you may have your mouse buttons switched.  For the default mouse
button mapping:

    [Alt + LeftButtonDrag]  => move window (like titlebar)
    [Alt + RightButtonDrag] => resize window (like resizebar)

If you have your mouse set up for left-handed use, the left and right
buttons are probably switched, and so the actions above would also be
switched.

[Note: Technically, the key to hold down is the key mapped to the Mouse
 Grab Modifier in the Mouse Preferences panel of the WPrefs utility.  By
 default, it is set to whatever key maps to the 'Mod1' modifier, most
 often [Alt] on systems like Linux or Free/Net/OpenBSD running XFree86
 or Xorg.]

Good luck.
