I believe the parent is referring to how GNOME 3.0 had some really bad resizing grabs. Single-pixel widths at the edges, and almost impossible to hit corners.

Latter versions significantly improved it.

Has been a major issue for me with Xfce and Gnome over the years, mostly just switched window managers.

  • Xfce is just ridiculous, it has 1px thin area to grab, and last time I checked they just mentioned you should use alt right click instead.

    • I was about to suggest Xfce as an example where window resizing is effortless due to the <super>+<right click> behavior. You can just grab the rough sector of a window to resize it.

      Any reason why you're not using it?
