What's wrong:

When you try to resize a window on a double-headed RT and then either
move the cursor off the right side of the screen (if you're resizing
on the left screen) or move the cursor off the left side of the screen
(if you're resizing on the right screen), uwm screws up.  I would
think that correct operation would be if you move the cursor off the
screen, then whatever resize size was in effect when the cursor left
the screen should stay in effect until it comes back onto the screen.
Uwm seems to disagree however, and picks random sizes to put the
window in until you move the cursor back onto the proper screen.

What should have happened:

Uwm should work sensibly.
