If people focus on the mouse pointer (which sounds reasonable), maybe
we could do away with the border highlightling and use different mouse
pointers when CTRL+ALT is held instead. Like showing small bars around
the pointer according to the to be resized borders. The mouse hand
itself could turn into a "move" symbol. Left-clicking would then only
show the "move" pointer, right-clicking only a corresponding "resize"
pointer.
(Care must be taken that pressing CTRL+ALT reveals the mouse pointer
when it's hidden over a text view and the move/resize pointer overrides
the text-input pointer.)
