Hmm, that *could* be a good compromise, but it doesn't solve the problem 
completely, IMHO: if you grabbed kicker although you wanted to resize a 
window you'll realize it only after moving the mouse and thus effectively 
resizing kicker. You'll have to move the mouse back, release the button and 
try again... Perhaps a special kicker-resizing-cursor would help... just an 
idea.
