Not quite - There are fair number of apps that have a status bar, but no 
resize grip. Character Map and Dictionary, for example.

Agreed.

Yeah - though OS X puts in a grip in the inside bottom right corner of 
the window, even if there is no status bar and even if there are no 
scroll bars. It actually just sits inside the window and overlaps the 
contents. Works surprisingly well.

When there is a status bar, it goes there, and when there are scroll 
bars - it goes as the end of them.

I see two issues here, that I'd like to keep from getting confused:

1) Some apps already have a statusbar, but have no grip. This should 
probably be fixed.

2) Should we look at the bigger picture and consider having the grip 
belong to the window instead of the Statusbar?
