I just checked the current gnome-shell now allows you to delete windows from there. I don't think you can resize since the view is in "thumbnail" so it doesn't make sense to resize it there. They just have an X over the application which is better than right click. Overall you want to present as much information in front of the user rather than hiding it in a right click menu. My two cents.
