using the modern theme in OS X (either CFM or mach-o) there are two resize
widgets in the status bar: one underneath the vertical scrollbar, and another to
the left of it. there should be only one.

not a problem with the aqua/classic theme. not a problem on win2k or linux.

screenshot coming up.
this is only a problem on mac with the modern theme.
I also saw that as well on Mac os x (netscape trunk build: 2002-01-10-08-TRUNK),
modern theme.
Yes, this makes us look stupid. Another issue is that we now have a special
resize cursor that only shows up for the left-most resize widget. No other Mac
OS X app uses a resize cursor.
Keywords: regression
So..  Are there mac-specific theme files in Modern?  Could we put a rule in
those setting the resizer back to "-moz-appearance: resizer", which is stubbed
out on the mac?

More to the point, perhaps the entire widget should not be there on the mac....
Can we fix this? It really makes Mac builds look stupid, and I think needs to be
fixed for 1.3.
Flags: blocking1.3b?
Why this is evil:
1. Two resize widgets show up in the corner of the window (see screenshot)
2. For the "XP" resize widget, we show a special resize cursor.
3. (Most evil) Because of other bugs, you can move the mouse outside of the
   window, but the resize cursor sticks, thus giving incorrect visual feedback.
   This makes it easy to click, and switch to another app rather than resizing
   the window. This has me cursing several times per day.

I tested this in unix/platformXUL.css on my Linux box, and it got rid of the
resizer widget.  Could someone test it on Mac?
