I think it must be some mistake you are making ... that mechanism is  
used by so many applications that I would expect to have heard about  
it if it was failing.  Also, if you have resized the window its frame  
must have changed (or all the drawing would be horribly messed up).

Perhaps the window you are logging and sending messages to is not the  
same window as the one being displayed and resized?
