This wouldn't solve the issue, since most the difficulty lies in positioning the cursor over the 1px resize edge (once you manage that, initiating a resize is simple). In any case, this is being worked on for Natty, apparently. Hopefully we'll be notified when the fix lands, so we can alpha-/beta-test the solution and provide any necessary feedback. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160311 Title: Resizing windows by grabbing window borders is difficult [please no more comments; patches welcome] -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
