Er, "constantly" was a bit of an overstatement. More like I have several directories with numerous files (considering a 1024x768 screen). It'd be a pain to have to adjust each window manually upon first opening just to avoid filling the whole screen.
Just so that "just right" sizing doesn't get lost in my rhetoric...

Of course the windows should not fill the screen. There should be some
sensible maximum size (e.g. 2/3 of the screen size). The nice thing about
sizing the windows when first opening the folder is that you start to learn
about you folder positions and sizes from the first day using gnome.

If all windows start with the same size you have to size them manually anyway. Btw. the resize button or probably more like a menu item would be really great.
