Brett, I randomly stumbled upon this one some minutes ago:

Resizing windows by grabbing window borders is difficult [please no more
comments; patches welcome]
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16031
Even on a normal desktop system I always manage it to grab the wrong
window. 1px is ... well, only 1 Pixel for grabbing. One slight movement
and you'll click into empty space or grab the wrong window (or even
accidently click a button of another window in background). I usually
use ALT-click to res
