Resizeable windows in general.  In Win, typically all windows are 
pixel-positioned
relative to the upper-left corner. The few windows that are resizeable 
aren't using
layout managers, so you stretch the corner to the right and 1/2 the time 
you get
a lot of blank space.  Developers work around it, and some toolkits are 
better than
others, but non-resizeable windows (large or small) are awful.
