Another bit of resize flakiness that's been reported :

Open a connection somewhere.
Resize the window (to verify that it can be resized).
Type alt-space, then 'n' to minimize the window.
Alt-tab (or click it on the taskbar) to bring it back up.
Attempt to resize the window. There'll be a lot of flickering, and if you chose a left/top handle the window will move around, but it won't resize.
Type something into the window.
Resizing now works.

(This may be something to look at when fixing the other resize flakiness.)

Update: This bug appears to have mysteriously fixed itself sometime between 2002-10-24 and 2002-10-29. During this period there was a lot of global-removal and Unix-porting upheaval, including some bug fixes, so I'm going to claim this is fixed.
