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.

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.

So window resizing is IMHO an important action, and I think it's a 
little bit too difficult to grab the resize handle in Lucid.
