Title: Enable right-click-drag resizing from any corner or side

Thanks for the great utility; it has played a hugely important role in helping me adjust to a Mac after years of Linux addiction.

I've been running with the enhancement in this pull request for a while to make Afloat click-anywhere resizing even more like most X-based window managers: depending on where your mouse is when you right-click, the drag-resize affects the logical side/corner of the window. I based this behavior on how the Alt-Click resizing works in XFCE, KDE and Gnome 2.

A bit more precisely: Imagine dividing the window into nine click "zones" by cutting the width into thirds and the height into thirds. Now, right-clicking the top-left "zone" will result in a resize which acts as if you had grabbed the top left corner of the window. Alternatively, if you right-click on the top-middle "zone", this results in a resize which acts as if you had grabbed the top edge of the window. That make sense? Probably easier to just play with it than try and unravel that explanation...
