@Omar,
Hi, thanks for your interest!
I indeed missed a step in the instructions, sorry for that.
* After git-cloning the repo, you should cd into directory containing the file "gconf.c"

So, (note the 2nd line added)

$ git clone git://anongit.compiz.org/fusion/compizconfig/compizconfig-backend-gconf
$ cd compizconfig-backend-gconf/settings-backend/
$ wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/39947363/resize-with-right-button.patch
$ patch < resize-with-right-button.patch

And then compile , make, backup ubuntu libs, install
$ cd ..
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ metacity --replace
$ for file in /usr/lib/compizconfig/backends/libgconf.* ; do sudo mv $file $file.backup ; done
$ sudo cp settings-backend/.libs/libgconf.* /usr/lib/compizconfig/backends/
$ compiz --replace


Don't forget that in order to compile that, you need to have installed these two packages (with dependencies):
compiz-dev libcompizconfig0-dev

and probably "build-essential" package too.
I've just followed my own guide with success, on Ubuntu Lucid, since after updating my modified library was overwritten, and now I'm enjoying again right-click window-resize :D

Please Omar, report any results you got, and we're going to be a step
closer to get it submitted upstream.
