i think all windows whatsoever should be resizeable unless for some reason resizing is impossible[0] or the window is only some kind of message-box-popup[1].

[0]e.g. game using non-gnome widget that do not resize
[1] but even there sometimes resizing is desirable to see the whole message/get each paragraph in one line/...
e.g. i really wished the "file transfers" dialog was enlargeable... it truncates paths... progress bars are short... it would not hurt to have it resizeable... and i have like 1680 pixels of space but it only uses like 300...
