You're right of course, this has nothing to do with how Windows works.
Except perhaps that Windows, Mac and Linux all share the same concepts
of working with a keyboard, mouse and screen.

When touch screens become main stream are we going to say that users
should figure out which theme matches the thickness of their fingers or
else they won't be able to comfortably and intuitively with the system?

I'm surprised to read the debate is still going on. The way it currently
works is simply not ergonomic nor intuitive.

All themes (well especially those that come standard with Ubuntu) should
support easy resizing of windows, ie. it should be fixed independently
of themes. I surely don't consider this "fixed" or "mute" by adding a
hidden option somewhere in 10.10.

I'd also like to suggest that it gets fixed in Ubuntu 10.04 as that is a
LTS release.

thanks,
Jan
