It keeps track of what resize it has done, and when the ConfigureNotify
event arrives, it checks to see if it matches its constraints. See code
in Gtk+, gtkwindow.c (it is a mess).

Why shouldn't it?

What do you mean by intercept? Intercept from who?

Fine so far. The hints specify things like resize increments which are
the character size, i.e. you can only resize one full row at the time
(at least when that comment was made). If you have a fullscreen frame,
and the font changes, in principle the hints should change. But a
change leads to a war between KWin and Gtk+ regarding who shall control
the size of the frame. So we don't change hints, we leave the old in place.
Gtk+ has its own copy of hints, which it sets by itself from time to
time, and which it tries to enforce. If we where to set hints with X
functions, Gtk+ would try to enforce something it has, while the window
manager would enforce what we actually set. So we use Gtk+ routines sp
that Gtk+ and the window manager have the same hints.
These to comments are not really related to each other.

I.e. make sure the window manager and Gtk+ have the same hints, but
don't change them when fullscreen because Gtk+ and KWin implements
enforcements of hints differently. Gtk+ and the window manager still
has our last non-fullscreen hints.
