My $.02:

I don't use the front-back-front gadgets much so I can live with whatever
is decided and put into 1.4.  I use DMouse and would like to see the 
equivalent DMouse functions in 1.4 - that would please me more.

I like the idea of a sizing gadget that allows the side(corner) crossed
by the mouse to move.  That strikes me as very intuitive and easy to 
get used to.  What are the problems with that system?

After reading the comments to date, it seems clear to me that most
people want the sizing gadget changed so that the window doesn't have
to be moved to resize (which is the current way things work).  

One suggestion was for preferences hold options for gadgets and
graphics of the gadgets.  While I am attracted to the idea(so I can
have it *MY* way), I think it is important that system gadgets be
all the same.  One of the strengths of Macintosh software is that it
all tends to look the same and users (the guys who pay for all the
software) like it that way.  Makes it easy for the casual user.  (like
my boss who can't quit raving about his Mac.)
