    I installed it and looked at it. If it offered more than 3x3 grids, I might have tried it. Window Managers have come a long way since then, and numerous programs like WorkspacerWM will autosize windows.

    @TBayAreaPat There are actually 16 grid positions at each screen edge and 3 in the center (based on 1/4, 1/3, 0.382, 1/2, 0.62, 2/3, 3/4, 1).

    Try this (Snap-to-grid) sequence:

    1. Push&Hold Alt
    2. Push&Hold Left or Right Mousebutton on window
    3. Release Alt (keeping Mousebutton pressed)
    4. Push&Hold Alt again
    5. Move Mouse around the screen (while still keeping Mousebutton pressed)

The 2x2 vs 3x3 grid you've seen is the grid inside each window which selects in which direction the Resize works.

What is KDE Mover-Sizer?

KDE Mover-Sizer is a lightweight program enabling KDE-style alt-click moving and resizing for Windows XP, 7, 2000, 2003, Windows Server, and Vista.

It is a background application that emulates the behaviour of KDE, which is a rather good Linux desktop environment. Essentially, you hold down the Alt key, and Left-click to move a window, Right-click to resize it; and from anywhere inside the window.
