Dragging the bottom-right corner of a non-decorated normal frame in a 
circular motion causes the frame to shrink. Same for the top-left 
corner, albeit more slowly.

Dragging the right border right moves it right, but more slowly than the 
cursor. Dragging it left makes it move faster than the cursor. Etc. I've 
described this before.

I'm pretty sure child frame resizing issue under Mutter is unrelated to 
the above. But sure.
