@cometdog - Thanks for the tip... I've been using the Alt-F8 workaround
for some time... but it is still inconvenient.

My use case is that I need to control multi-headed remote workstations
via VNC.  I also sometimes have large spreadsheets and text editing that
spans multiple screens.  So, I often really need the ability to
span/resize and full-screen across monitors with the same convenience on
Compiz as with stock Gnome.  Often I just get frustrated and just turn
the darn thing off... but I do miss my eye candy...

Compiz resize should work the same as Gnome resize.  The Alt-F8
"feature" is counterintuitive and is a bug.  You can see how many people
are in agreement -- Though perhaps if they would share their particular
use cases, we could get a better understanding of "requirements."

I'm not on the list of developers, and I don't right now have the energy
to figure out Compiz, dig in, and fix it, but I suppose that if I want
it fixed, I'll have to take a look at the code... when I get the chance.
