I've removed the middle two paragraphs that referred to a problem with
the impact zone for resizing windows as a bug report should be
restricted to a single issue, and the difficulty in resizing windows is
already a known bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/160311?comments=all).

** Description changed:
The Disk Utility program (palimpsest) used to resize itself after
selecting a drive. Now, when you select a drive, the window is ALWAYS
too small, REQUIRING the user to make it bigger or to scroll the scroll
bars to see all the options in the right panel.
-
- This brings me to the next failing: the boarders are almost impossible
- to click on now, especially on high-resolution desktops, as you have to
- position your mouse over a single pixel. There is no "grab" section in
- the bottom right of the window either like there are in Nautilus and
- Firefox windows, making it not only annoying to use, but also
- inconsistent with the rest of the desktop.
-
- I know the boarder problem effects other programs too of course, but
- this issue is especially apparent with Disk Utility due to it being one
- of the default programs that users may use which ALWAYS requires
- resizing or scrolling of the scroll bars. If it was simply a matter of
- scrolling down, which you can easily to with the mouse wheel, it may not
- be so bad either, but it requires horizontal scrolling as well.
One solution to this issue would be to bring back the behaviour of the
old program which auto-resized itself. While I can understand windows
resizing themselves being a slightly annoying feature, this way it is
now is much more so, and if you wanted to solve both issues you could
simply make the default window size of Disk Utility be big enough to
show the right panel without scrollbars after a drive is selected, or to
reduce the size of things in the right panel so that it will fit in the
existing default window size.
