I think the problem didn't bother me as much in 10.04 because the
terminal had a rounded bottom which extended the target click area.

I propose an increased target area.  For instance: [see attached] there
is a bunch of dots arranged in a triangle to hint the user that it is
resizable.  If we could make the scrollbar end 10-20 pixels north of the
bottom right of the window to allow room for a triangle dot icon, it
would increase the target click area, and would help a lot for
usability.

A lot of windows have a status bar at the bottom and the triangle area
is actually a part of the status bar, like in gedit and firefox.  I know
gnome-terminal doesn't have a status bar, but it does help for resize
usability in the other programs.
