Emacs calls this dragging a modeline (to modify the height of windows)
and dragging a vertical divider (to modify the width of windows).  Can
you please give a bit more details about how these don't work on your
system?  From "<-|->" I conclude that you want to drag a vertical
divider which is indeed tricky and won't work if you have scrollbars and
no modelines.  The only location where the mouse "grabs" in this case is
the region between two modelines.

Hello, group

Has anyone else had the following experience?

I use GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of
2010-12-11 on brahms, modified by Debian. I would like to use the mouse
to change window sizes (by clicking and dragging) but I find it
particularly difficult. The mouse cursor changes to <-|-> (for example)
but dragging it does not seem to "grab". Is there anything I can
customize to make dragging windows more friendly?

Thanks,

Stuart
