In GTK+ 1.2[.x], paned windows have Motif's crappy user interface, which
I think it inherited from the Athena Widgets crappy user interface.
I.e., the only resizing control point is a stupid little box on the
right-hand edge of the sash between the panes; look for a small square
raised box, which should be almost at the right-hand edge of the
separation between the panes.
(If you are using a GTK+ theme, all bets are off; I don't know whether
themes can change the way an inter-pane sash is drawn, but if they can,
the sash might behave differently, so if the square box isn't there, ask
the maintainer of the theme.)
In GTK+ 1.3[.x], which is the development version of GTK+ 2.0, they
fixed that; the entire sash between the panes is a control point.
