Fixed with Revision 2:
-set correct resize mode if page is rotated
-don't allow resize to smaller than 0 x 0
-don't draw resize handles in thumbnail list

Changed:
-resize handles are filled slightly transparent

Drawing the handles is now optional, and only enabled in PageView::drawDocumentOnPainter.
Should it be done somewhere else, too? E.g., there is active/components/pageitem.cpp, but sadly I don't have a clue when/by whom this is used.

Regarding kde-usability mailing list, I think before posting there I'll try to find some good KDE reference application and check what they do. I'd consider Okular as a good reference app, but it won't help me in this case :-) Some ideas come already from gwenview.

Is there something that you think should be done soon, or as next change? If not I'll just go on with what comes to my mind, and will probably update here in 1..2 weeks.

Btw., sorry, I don't know how inline quote here (using the reviewboard webinterface).

Now keep Ctrl pressed, and move mouse cursor over one of the 8 resize handles (each 10x10 pixels) on the corners/edges. The cursor will change shape to indicate resize mode. Clicking somewhere else on the annotation means "move", just as it was before resize feature was added.
