In my freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04 (with Unity) I cannot resize any window. Minimizing and maximizing works fine, but non-full screen applications are stuck to a default size. Moving the cursor to the window edges turns it into resizing arrows, but clicking and dragging yields no result. I am on a
Thinkpad X1, dualboot with Windows 7. Intel HD 4000 graphics card. There is no file /etc/X11/xorg/conf.
Any suggestions?

Going into CompizConfig Settings Manager, Window Management and ticking the box next to Resize Window solved my problem. It is confusing, that resizing windows is not enabled by default.
