Ok, it's not as bad as what I've had to do in the past, thanks.
Although now 0.23.1 seems to work with nm-applet --indicator
I assume 0.24 has fixes for other systray widgets I'm not using?

Things have improved for sure, thank you.

Ok, things are super weird now. As you might know, thingpads have 3
sets of mice
1) the trackpoint with 3 buttons under the space bar. 
2) the touchpad with its own set of 3 buttons under the touchpad
3) USB mouse

alt+middle click resize works with 2 and 3 (trackpoint and USB mouse),
but not trackpoint middle button.
This is the weirdest thing, I don't even see how the trackpoint middle
button can behave differently from the touchpad middle button, but they
are.

I know how to debug stuff for keys with Xmodmap, but I have no idea how
to do it for mouse buttons.

Ah, I found something with xev

trackpoint middle button click does nothing, trackpoint middle button

Does that make sense?

Any idea how I can fix it/make it the same?

Yes, with other windows, it works better. Now I know where to move the
pointer for resize to work :)

It's bigger :)
Now I lost systray notifications from chrome, need to check why.
