(Get the code!)
I'm here to add my concern for this bug. I'm currently using a jaunty netbook with a 1024x600 resolution and resizing windows "naturally" (using my cursor on a window edge) is almost always an absolute chore if not impossible. On my 1920x1200 desktop computer it's not quite as difficult with my trackball but it's more difficult than it should be.
Now, I don't know if a patch that allows for border resizing is the right step. Making the borders larger takes away from screen real estate. Would it be possible to keep the borders at 1px while extending the [invisible] "resize threshold" out 5 or 10 pixels on each side of the border?
I haven't used KDE since they released version 4 [ick] but I don't remember having any issues resizing windows with version 3.X - maybe the gnome project can borrow their window resize code?
