My 2 credits worth.
Most people have at least 2 mouse buttons.
Left button = move
Right button = resize
Behaviour can be altered with preferences panel.
Now all you have to decide is what is the default behaviour - most people
are right handed, which means left mouse button is easier to select. Moving
is more frequent than resizing. Put 2+2 together, and you get left mouse
button to move window, right mouse button to resize, with the behaviour
swappable via a preferences panel.
Thread closed.
