Hi,

I consider this problem being blown a little bit out of proportion. Simply
use a different Xfwm4 theme by default if you want to. Or one of the
various different ways to resize windows [0].
Also note that this issue doesn't affect Gtk3 windows with client-side
decorations at all, as those use the compositor's shadow as additional
resize area.

And as far as my theme goes, I've provided the Greybird-a11y Xfwm4
theme[1] for more than a year for this use-case. (Yeah, it obviously
features 3px borders.)

Cheers
Simon
