I would like to propose a change to the system sizing gadget.  The way it
is now, the user is too limited in the directions he/she can alter the 
window.  When trying to right-justify a window of a certain size, it can
become quite a chore.  Resize-drag-resize-drag- etc.  This is one thing that
I like in MS Windows (gak), that you can drag *any* corner around to resize
the window.  I'm not necessarily proposing that that method be proposed, just
something slightly more flexibly than the current version.

I also would like to see what a previous poster proposed: visual display of
the window borders while resizing (would that really be much of a problem to
implement?  I wouldn't think so).
