This is exactly what's not working in my app. There's a 'twitch' as I move
onto the first pixel of the widow, where the icon resizes to it's 'relaxed'
state, then it just grows again.
Annoyingly, I've tried this on your launcher and it works perfectly...
I suspect it's the feebleness of the machine I'm developing on - it quite
often fails to redraw the b/g after I've moved windows, etc, where the more
powerful computer I have at home has no problems here. I haven't tried this
on a powerful computer yet - something to do over the weekend...

It'll be a while before it's anything other than a more amusing launcher.
I'm hoping to include a taskbar as well, and have started programs have a
bouncing icon... :-) Not wonderfully useful, but further is just too pretty
for me not to play with.

I can appreciate your problems - I'm on my third way of zooming icons around
now...
