In order to make the ui freeze I checked this in for you. I made some 
small changes to the code:

* Renamed the GConf keys to minimum/maximum_size (since they are useful
  for both width/height, and publically visible).
* Fixed the generic panel handling of size_hints and handles and removed 
  the handle size specific code from the tasklist.
* Use g_new0/g_free instead of calloc/free.
* Minor indentation changes.
