Or, crazy idea, it should depend on the size of the frameshadow -- just a 
crazy idea. It would make a few cases of placement on the grid more efficient 
and flexible, though. :)

One issue that confuses a bit with the demo video is that it uses Air410, 
which has huge frame borders, those add up quite a bit larger than the grid. 
Just something to keep in mind.
