I concur with Jared.

Also running Jaunty and I've tried various themes for Gnome including
"Human", "New Wave", "Dust", etc.

All of these themes have different border sizes, and for aesthetics,
many themes have a very thin border (1 pix).  When the border is so
thin, it's extremely difficult to "naturally" move your mouse cursor
over that 1 pixel thickness.

As per some discussion in the "New Wave" Gnome theme 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371833), you can customize the border width as 
follows:
I've edited my metacity-theme-1.xml (found in /usr/share/themes/New 
Wave/metacity-1) as follows:
<distance name="left_width" value="5"/>
<distance name="right_width" value="5"/>

Again though, forcing users to have a thicker border to make resizing
windows natural isn't the correct solution.  Having an "invisible"
thicker resize area would work, or perhaps a "snap to" border edge when
you're within 5 or 10 pixels of the border.
