I lost that code anyway.  IIRC it didn't work well with slow or small
mouse movements, mistaking horizontal draggings for vertical ones or
vice-versa.  In either case I then decided to install window dividers
to fix that problem for good.  If these don't satisfy people, they
never looked into how other applications handle that.
