Re: [Ayatana] Put a resize widget in the title bar

[Dylan McCall <dylanmccall@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is already the case with the border on the top in the Ambiance
and Radiance themes. Unfortunately, Compiz, doesn't understand that
bit of the window theme. If you run Metacity (disable “desktop
effects”) you will be pleasantly surprised.

This was also the case with the border on the bottom, but since I
never run Compiz (for issues like the one I just described) I never
realized it didn't work by default. I guess that's why people
misunderstood it and it seems to have been removed in Maverick.
