MikeLoco14: Yes, corner drag functionality is already in natty (which will 
likely become Ubuntu 11.04 in April 2011).

Hopefully this serves to demonstrate that window resizing *is* being
actively improved! (I appreciate that there has been a couple of years
where the situation has regressed as a result of theme changes).  I
don't currently know how much of the final solution will be able to be
backported to previous Ubuntu versions (theme changes will be easier
than code changes), but I'm sure others will investigate what is
possible work; for example see the note at the top of this bug report:

  "Working grip backported to gtk2 already available in ppa:
  https://launchpad.net/~bratsche/+archive/gtk "
