I have made an error in my comments to this bug report. I would like
to ask the people experiencing this to try what I described (resizing
from the corners) with Metacity ("desktop effects" disabled), not
Compiz. Metacity seems to behave considerably better here than Compiz,
where the extended resize handle on the corners is simply not there.
(The only thing you can resize with is the 1px border).

With that in mind, it seems it would be a good idea to file a bug
against Compiz, not Metacity, given that _Compiz_ is (for the time
being) the default window manager new Ubuntu users must deal with and
it is in fact behaving incorrectly.
