I'm pretty sure I've used a window manager (I don't remember which
one) which would divide the window into 9 equal rectangles:

        1 2 3
        4 5 6
        7 8 9

If you started a resize while the mouse was in region 1, 3, 7, or 9,
it would resize that corner. If you started a resize while the mouse
was in region 2, 4, 6, or 8, it would resize that size. I don't
remember what would happen if you started a resize from region 5.
