Is the door out of square or is the house settling making it look like
it's
out of square?
Hardly matters, dontcha think? The door is out of square with respect to
the frame.
The proper fix does indeed depend on the source of the
out-of-squareness, yes...
(Unless you think you can rectify this by jacking the house and squaring
the door frame ...)
Rarely necessary but have done so on occasion (but not for a "small"
problem), but certainly I have rehung poorly hung doors many times to
square them up...
