Note that this will be a regression for folks doing LTS upgrades from Lucid to Precise. In Lucid, the default theme at least has a larger border on the bottom of the window.
I'd argue that --- for 2D desktops in Precise --- the default theme's window borders should be fairly beefy for 2 reasons:
1. Differentiating windows: Without shadows to help define the edges of windows, it is can be hard to tell at a glance where one window ends and another begins when they are overlapping. Well-defined window borders would help this.
2. Resizing windows: As noted, it is difficult to "grab" very thin window borders. Larger window borders would help this.
This is a real usability and quality issue that will affect many users when they upgrade from Lucid to Precise.
