[xmonad] Resize floating scratchpad with keyboard

[Wirt Wolff]

I find resizing from the window top-left as you have, or resizing from
the bottom edge or lower-right all work correctly for me with
xmonad-0.9.2 and darcs xmonad + gnome-terminal or rxvt-unicode. Is there
any possibility your "M-o" key binding is being over-ridden by another
"M-o" binding somewhere in your key bindings?

Here are they key bindings I used:

("M-i",    withFocused $ keysResizeWindow (0, 19) (1,1))
("M-u",    withFocused $ keysResizeWindow (0,-19) (1,1))
("M-M1-i", withFocused $ keysResizeWindow (0,-19) (0,0))
("M-M1-u", withFocused $ keysResizeWindow (0, 19) (0,0))
("M-o",    withFocused $ keysResizeWindow ( 9, 0) (0,0))
("M-y",    withFocused $ keysResizeWindow (-9, 0) (0,0))
("M-M1-o", withFocused $ keysResizeWindow (-9, 0) (1,1))
("M-M1-y", withFocused $ keysResizeWindow ( 9, 0) (1,1))
