Description:
The latest upgrade to emerald and libwnck causes problems. I cannot resize windows if I want to drag by their right or bottom side. The cursor does not change to resize arrow. As soon as I downgrade the problem is gone.
The problem was confirmed by other people as well see:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=38640

Additional info:
broken: emerald-0.2.1-2 and libwnck 2.20.0-1
ok: emerald-0.2.1-1 and libwnck-2.18.3-1

Steps to reproduce:
upgrade to broken versions, select:
Window Manager -> Beryl
Window Decorator -> Emerald
try to resize a window by dragging right or bottom side.

I suggest to switch to compiz packages from AUR. All beryl packages will be removed during repo cleanup.

also you can try libwnck-2.20.1

I tried. It does not help. I compiled libwnck only though.

You tried the emerald from community repo?

I'm having this problem using compiz-fusion from AUR. Unable to resize from bottom window frame.
compiz-core 0.6.2-3
emerald 0.6.0-3
libwnck 2.20.2-1

I'm running the following setup:
compiz-core 0.6.2-3
emerald 0.6.0-3
libwnck 2.20.3-1

Everything works as expected, so can anyone of you two pls update their package and try again?

Ok, I've tracked down what's causing this problem. It's not libwnck. I'm using emerald theme SlateHorn_green (vrunner engine) and had modified the bottom frame boarder thickness to 4. I like my frame boarders thin. Well at this setting resizing from the bottom isn't possible. Changing it to 5 brings it back. I had no idea changing boarder thickness would cause this problem. BTW, a setting of 4 for top and sides don't have this problem; resizing works fine. Sorry for the confusion. This PR can be closed.

Ok, so this is an upstream bug.

You may have a look at their bugtracker/forums to find a solution to get it work with thinner frames.
(Sounds quite unreasonable to me, this behaviour).
