If I remember correctly, you're right and the resize of he filesystem required.
Of course if you shrink the partition, first you need to resize the
file system before the
resizing of the partition and if you grow the partition, first you
need to resize the partition
before the resizing the file system. (Maybe, you should turn off the
journalling when you
modify an ext3 file system, but i am not sure in it)

I strongly recommend the gparted, I have resized and moved partitions
(ext2, ext3 and ntfs) with it,
and i never had problem with it. It hase a nice GUI and it does every
necessary steps automatically. :-)
