The problem is in gtkwindow.c:gtk_window_move_resize() - it asks for a
new size from the window manager and expects a response back if
size_changed or hints_changed, but unless size_changed, it doesn't
actually get a response back.

So if the minimum size of the window changes without the current size,
a size_allocate() never occurs, and the old allocations stick around.
