I've been hit by your first point as well (not often, but often enough since I switch between resolutions frequently), and if you press the maximize button it will often (not always though) "raise" the lower portion up above the dock enough so you can resize. Not the most intuitive, but it works. I agree with #2 as well - that's one thing Windows does just right, and I'm glad to see that could be coming in Lion.

Not the most intuitive, but it works. I'm not arguing with you here, just adding a data point about how unintuitive it is. I certainly agree that you can do this—but, to my mind, you're then re-sizing the window in its maximised state; and, if you click again to ‘un-maximise’ it, then it'll be right back to the inaccessible position that it had before. I don't know if this is any sort of serious objection, in the sense that it can actually cause trouble, but it nags at my mind when I use it: “You don't really want that window maximised! Go back to its rest state!” I therefore usually wind up with the solution of “Find a big enough monitor and re-size there.” (By the way, I love Mac OS, but definitely hate this behaviour.)
