Not necessarily: it could be done by instructing the window-manager beforehand about the applicable resizing limits. I've often found windows that cannot be resized below some threshold (often dialog windows). Try it with `evolution', for example: I can't make it narrower than 879 pixels. > I think we can live with deleting windows in that case and _not_ > resurrecting them when the frame is resized. With window-managers that do "opaque resizing" (pretty much standard nowadays), that can be very problematic. Stefan
