I'm chiming in too as someone who extremely highly values the original behavior (repeated presses resize the window repeatedly for all numpad keys).

I'm a software engineer who switched over to Ubuntu on 11.04. My work process immediately became more productive due to the combination of the workspace/desktop switcher, the spinning wheel type alt-tab window switcher and this grid plug-in.

I saved immense amounts of time placing each little debug/project/etc. window from Eclipse in a different position on each of my two widescreen monitors because of this plug-in.

To be candid, this is the deal breaker for me regarding sticking with Ubuntu. If I can't get this functionality, Ubuntu as a solution doesn't compete well with my alternatives.

Hell, I contemplated quitting my job to contribute to Compiz development. I don't know how I'd make that work financially. Oops, off-topic.
