Mr. Nick,
you say "The "grabber" that was introduced in 11.04 was a much
appreciated improvement for resizing windows in Ubuntu."

Nothing more false - who appreciate those terms "much appreciated" as
true ? - which metrics you use here ? - on my linux community no one
think in appreciative terms about that (but as a regression in
usability) so let me be reserved about that "much".

Btw, I don't use this "innovation" - I just drop "overlays" (I sudo
apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar) so I am able to resize any window
from every margin I want.
