The resizing handles are supposed to disappear until the mouse is released.
As the mouse is dragged the control is supposed to resize. This could very
well be a GTK issue, but nobody else has reported it. Then again, nobody
reported the addresses sample startup problem either.

So, is everyone running Linux seeing the same problem? I don't run Linux, so
the only way I'll ever know about problems is if people report them (thanks
Cliff).

The resizing handles work the way they do partly because I was trying to get
around a problem Rowland mentioned a long time ago with the experimental
resizing code in the widgets sample. If you open that up, you can hold down
the control key when you mouseDown on a widget and depending on where you
mouseDown inside the control you can move or resize it. Works fine under
Windows, but it never worked right under Linux.
