I have this problem all the time, and I don't think it's an evo one. 
It's a window manager problem.

The window manager let's you decide which corners will allow you to 
resize the windows.  So, I would suggest switching to a Window Manager 
or theme that allows you to use the Top Left or Top Right corner to 
resize.  For example, under Gnome + Sawfish, the crux theme (I believe) 
allows you to resize using any of the four corners.

There's other ways to do this, too, but this is the simplest.
