Now that I am aware of the behaviour it seems natural to me. Would you like me to run a small survey next week of users manipulating the plasmoids in KDE 4.3 beta? I can probably get about five people to play with it and tell me what behaves differently from what they expect.

I think that was quite the point that Grosz was making. He states that most people align the upper portion of the window / plasmoid, and then resize from there. I don't know if that is accurate, but I can find out next week on a few people if you like.
