Well, why do we have the red arrow to begin with? And - a very prominent, even
garrishly-colored, red arrow? Because it is supposedly very important to us to
indicate to the user that there is content overflow from the non-autosized
frame.

Given that, the arrow direction tells us where content is overflowing. And -
right now it's not pointing in the right direction.

If we don't care about the direction - let's not make it a triangle pointing in
a given direction. Perhaps make the frame have a reddish halo or something. Or
even have four small arrows in all directions. What happens right now (and you
can see this in the linked-to bug) is that the user believes they need to
prevent, or handle, overflow due right - which may not exist.

And if we _do_ care about the direction - then we need to point in the
directions in which there is overflow.
