Or, we could just sort out the fundamental problem with resizing a
window by using the time-honoured tradition of grabbing a reasonable
chunk of the bottom left corner and dragging the bugger. Give us a
decent chunk to grab and we will.
I use my laptop with both a trackpad and a logitch thumbwheel
trackball. Both options are painful to use under Ubuntu and utterly
fine under Windows. I don't think it's a lot to ask to give someone
more than 1 or 2 pixels to hit on a 1900 pixel width screen.
In all honesty, I'm utterly stunned that fundamental issues like this
and hundreds of other are complaining about aren't resolved yet...
it's a papercut and STILL we're banging on about it...
