Before installing oneiric, alt-button2 did resize windows. In fact, the binding is still configured for the resize plugin but nothing happens when using it. I'm not sure if this is related to unity or not.

seems to work fine for me on a Clean Oneiric install. Can you run 'unity --reset' in a terminal and see if that resolves the issue. This is not a bug in unity though.
