Public bug reported: Use the "show desktop" feature (for example with ctrl+super+d). The windows will disappear but you will notice that the mouse changes as you pass over the areas where window borders were, and sure enough, you can resize windows with their invisible handles and drag them by their invisible titlebar.
I can still drag-select desktop icons, and keyboard focus stays on the deskop. It's just window titles and borders.
