I tried the "$ metacity --replace"
which produced some weird results at first, but resizing worked. But then I had to re-enable compiz, and now with compiz back, the resizing seems to work. Thanks also for the tip on ALT-mouse scroll wheel to resize. A useful thing to remember if it fails again. Although Resize Window was selected in the Compiz Configuration Manager.
