Is there a tool somewhere that will allow me to grab a window ANYWHERE
along its border to move it or resize it, rather than only being able
to grab the top header or lower corner, respectively? Seems to me
there was something like that for classic, or maybe it ran slow or
was otherwise a pain somehow.

Any ideas?

I would tend to doubt that such a thing exists. I'm wishing for a
background application that will switch the focus to the window under
the cursor, but it's been years and either no one used to Xwindows has
bothered to write it or it breaks to easily.

MondoMouse-- see URL in my signature. Grab the window anywhere to move
or resize, not just in the usual places.

Off the top of my head, that seems tricky to do in the context of Mac OS
X unless you also want (or are willing to tolerate) activating windows
on mouseover. It's trivial for a single app to do it among its own
windows (and Terminal.app offers an undocumented pref to do so) but an
after-market system-wide patch would be tough, IMO.
