If there is a prescribed way to do this, I'd be keen to know.
It occurs to me that, if it were possible to "intercept" the mouse event
on its way *to* the AWT resize listener, then you could change the mouse
X,Y coordinates reported by the mouse event to a position that "fits in"
with your preferred aspect ratio. You could let the AWT resize logic go
ahead and redraw the changing window (which would draw to the size you'd
like to see it). The user would notice that the motion is coordinated
with, but not the same as, the real mouse motion - but I guess that that
is the effect you're after... You would have to know that this mouse
event is part of a window resize, I guess - and I don't know how to do
that...
Maybe redefining processMouseEvent() (or something like that)?
