Not for now, probably/likely in the future (only via composite).

If a theme has no side-borders, you can't focus them to resize. So
yes, it's a design decision.

e17 has not been "neutered", it in fact is much more powerful in this.
There is a fully configurable mouse button configuration (called
"Mouse Buttons"), where you can chose every single behavior for any
mouse-button and any modifier.
There are also sane defaults which configure all 3 usually available
main buttons including another set with the Alt modifier.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
