Bottom-right resize icon issue

Good day to all.

I have now an issue with my bottom right resize icon that I do not understand why it has gone wrong. It overlaps the buttons and does not fit any theme (it never changes).

.

What do I have to fix to get that back to normal? What did I lose? Which package do I have to reinstall (I am under ubuntu 11.04)?

Thanks for your help

Re: Bottom-right resize icon issue

Create/edit the file ~/.gtkrc-2.0 with the following contents:

style "default-style"
{
	GtkWindow::resize-grip-height = 4
	GtkWindow::resize-grip-width = 4
}

The value 4 is editable and determines the size of the grip. It also represents the area required to grip the corner to resize the box, so the lower the value the more difficult the resize.

Thank you for this answer.

But is it the normal behavior of this grip? I would think that the themes do resize it in order to be inobstrusive. However, whatever the theme, the grip seems to always be identical and get over the buttons.

It's not normal that the corner get over the buttons. And also, the grip change depending on the theme, more precisely the Window Manager theme (not the Appearance theme) :

What is your Xfce version ?
