I'v never found the need to resize firefox& evolution [always

Don't forget that there are users that do not always maximize their windows. This will be even more common in the future, because it doesn't make sense to maximize firefox etc. on a 24" screen. The only application I ever maximize on such a screen is Eclipse.
24" ? good point there!
on my 10" i maximize everything except for Contact List, which i expect to be an indicator menu at some point, hopefully.
Rarely resize certain windows - eg: nautilus,xchat,liferea,terminal.
These remember the last size I had set them to and they open in the same
size[seems to be the case with almost every application in the default
install]. Which I rarely adjust more than once. The most common action I
do with them is maximize.
I often resize terminals, editors and evince and arrange them so that I can view all of them, for example when looking at a manual or a paper, doing something on the command line and writing some text about it.
would resizing in a grid not help with all this? It would be easier to snap application windows to each other this way. It would also make resizing faster in general as far as i can imagine.
So window resizing is IMHO an important action[...]
