The problem is caused by Ubuntu back porting grips to gtk2 (from gtk3).
gtk2 applications have not been written expecting grips to be there.

Title:
  Resize grip always appears in bottom right of GTK+2.0 windows

Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “gtk2-engines-oxygen” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since a recent update, in a non-maximised GTK+2.0 window, a resize
  grip will always appear in the bottom right of the window. This causes
  problems with applications which use the bottom right of the screen,
  such as Firefox pop-up windows for video content where the bottom
  right of the window is obscured and looks out of place and the
  Audacious media player where the total time of a playlist is obscured,
  to give two examples.

  I have included pictures of the problem. As the saying goes, a picture
  tells a thousand words.

  I use KDE with only essential GTK packages installed and the Oxygen
  GTK engine to integrate GTK apps into the Oxygen KDE theme. The same
  problem occurs with the Raleigh GTK engine. I am also using Kubuntu
  Natty Alpha 1 with libgtk2.0-0 version 2.23.90-0ubuntu4.

  What should happen: No resize grab should show in the window, as
  previous behaviour.

  Workaround

  Edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 and add:

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------
  style "default-style"
  {
    GtkWindow::resize-grip-height = 0
    GtkWindow::resize-grip-width = 0
  }

  class "GtkWidget" style "default-style"
