Oh, I have no problem with the grab handles. It's just they're meant for multi touch screens. They aren't a good replacement for traditional window management utilities.
Still the feature is being introduced.
I think these drag handles are self explanatory just by looking at them and provide that necessary extra surface area for resizing and dragging windows.
and you might still be able to use part of the titlebar for dragging.
The plugin can even be turn off.

People will need to try to adapt to the behavior in the same way they had to adapt to some other stuff in unity or other DEs/OSs.
But is a young project and if you think it needs tweaking you can always suggest it and some already have:

But users don't expect to not be able to move a window using the title bar, and similarly, we can't expect them to know how to do it any other way.

they are going to incorporate it anyway so it would solve these dragging problems some mention with a few tweaks.
i think that this should activate by clicking any corner or optionally via a window control.

Couldn't you solve the draggable area problem by allowing users to move the window by dragging from anywhere on the title bar, including a menu item.at some point it was mentioned that all "grey" areas in an application window should be draggable areas.this would make a lot of sense to me..Menus could show on release to prevent them from showing when a user drags the window.indicator menus are aim-click-drag-release.this includes indicator-appmenuso no, show on release is not a solution, so i think.
