What about under the no toolkit build?  The X toolkit intrinsics seek to
enforce client-requested size hints independently of the window manager
under certain situations.

In light of various frequently attested difficulties with both the GTK
and Xt family of toolkits, I'm inclined to recommend users build
--with-x-toolkit=none.  Toolkit widgets will be absent from such builds,
but they will work properly under virtually all circumstances that can
be thrown at them; and if they don't, toolkits cannot impede us from
remedying the problems.
