Let AB is part of any top-left-bottom-right border of the app-window
(including a corner too).
Then, placing the mouse pointer inside rectangle that enclosing the bounds of
the desklet and moving the pointer toward AB we expect that the cursor on the
screen will change at AB (∓4px) to the type, as for Fig.1, CURSOR_RESIZE_RIGHT.
But these changes CURSOR_RESIZE_* won't appear at AB, and this occurs only at
AB, because you can grab the scrollbar of the app-window and interract with it.
