Of course the windows should not fill the screen. There should be some
sensible maximum size (e.g. 2/3 of the screen size). The nice thing about
sizing the windows when first opening the folder is that you start to learn
about you folder positions and sizes from the first day using gnome.

If all windows start with the same size you have to size them manually 
anyway.
Btw. the resize button or probably more like a menu item would be really 
great.
