Comment (by humdinger):

 In my opinion, the resize shortcut should not be changed. CTRL+ALT+... is
 a kind of window management shortcut that should be universal. H,M,Z to
 hide, minimize, maximize, Cursor keys to move between workspaces, left-
 click to move and now right-click to resize.[[BR]]
 Additional SHIFT is generally used as a modified behaviour, e.g. to take a
 window with you to another workspace or, looking into a Tracker window
 menu, to _Force_ identify or Close _all_ windows etc.

 Delaying the highlighting until the mouse is moved would work for me
 personally, but it might provoke another issue: a user may inadvertently
 some times move the mouse while pressing CTRL+ALT and sometimes not. He
 may wonder why a border highlights sometimes and sometimes it doesn't...
