Applet positions

Yeap, I know there are many issues to take into account. In fact, I don't
really think that edges with full resize capability will be the solution for
the reasons you told before. Mainly it would bloat handles and the put the
applets into some problems (they are not windows, right) and it would also
break the "fixed ratio" concept.

You're right with that. But I feel the current way so unnatural that I
wanted to find a better possibility.  I just wanted to suggest an starting
point (draggable edges) for a possible discussion, as opposite to the
current state.

Of course, this solely idea is far from mature. I posted my thoughts after
reading. I'll see if I can work a bit more on the idea and purpose a more
polished solution.
