Ok,

In metacity you can just use alt-middlemouse to resize the window
without reaching the borders :)

Please people, gnome people might learn from kde people, and kde
people might learn from gnome people.  There is a difference asking
"why do you think this particular thing is better in kde" then "kde
sucks"...

Both kde and gnome are excellent... I prefer gnome, some other people
kde.  I'd love to understand why, that's why I asked.
