Or, we could just sort out the fundamental problem with resizing a window by using the time-honoured tradition of grabbing a reasonable chunk of the bottom left corner and dragging the bugger. Give us a decent chunk to grab and we will. I use my laptop with both a trackpad and a logitch thumbwheel trackball. Both options are painful to use under Ubuntu and utterly fine under Windows. I don't think it's a lot to ask to give someone more than 1 or 2 pixels to hit on a 1900 pixel width screen. In all honesty, I'm utterly stunned that fundamental issues like this and hundreds of other are complaining about aren't resolved yet... it's a papercut and STILL we're banging on about it... -- Steve When one person suffers from a delusion it is insanity.
