It appears from the change markers in the docs that this may be new to 1.1
but the mwm man page lists the showFeedback resource (class ShowFeedback).
(see portion of man pg below...)

I hope this is of some help.

     showFeedback (class ShowFeedback)
             This resource controls when feedback information  is  
             displayed.   It  controls  both  window position and
             size feedback during move or resize  operations  and
             initial  client  placement.  It also controls window  
             manager message and dialog boxes.                     

             The  value  for  this resource is a list of names of
             the feedback options to be enabled or disabled;  the  
             names must be separated by a space.  If an option is  
             preceded by a minus sign, that  option  is  excluded  
             from  the  list.   The sign of the first item in the  
             list determines the initial set of options.  If  the  
             sign  of  the first option is minus, mwm assumes all  
             options are present and starts subtracting from that  
             set.   If  the  sign of the first decoration is plus  
             (or not specified), mwm starts with no  options  and  
             builds up a list from the resource.                   

            The names of the feedback options are shown below:    

           Name                       Description
         ___________________________________________________________
         all______|__Show_all_feedback_(Default_value)______________|
         behavior |  Confirm behavior switch                        |
         _________|_________________________________________________
         kill_____|__Confirm_on_receipt_of_KILL_signal______________|
         move     |  Show position during move                      |
         _________|_________________________________________________
         none_____|__Show_no_feedback_______________________________|
         placement|  Show position and size during initial placement|
         _________|_________________________________________________
         quit_____|__Confirm_quitting_MWM___________________________|
         resize   |  Show size during resize                        |
         _________|_________________________________________________|
         restart  |  Confirm MWM restart                            |

             The  following  command  line illustrates the syntax
             for showFeedback:                                     

                Mwm*showFeedback: placement resize behavior restart
                                                        
             This  resource  specification  provides feedback for
             initial client placement and resize, and enables the
             dialog boxes to confirm the restart and set behavior
             functions.  It disables feedback for the move  func-
             tion.                                                 
                                                         
             The default value for this resource is all.
