now perhaps it makes sense to think about a resizing grid, which should be
active by default.
Resizing a window has in nearly all cases the following purposes:
* arrange 2 or more windows side by side
* reduce horizontal width to improve text readability

these can both be achieved easily with a fixed grid for window resizing.
In a fixed grid, overlapping edges would automatically be eliminated,
windows would snap comfortably, helping the user to arrange them less
painfully.
