Could you provide code to replicate this?

This symptom has been seen before when creating windows with a 
maximum size of 0 x 0 under fvwm2. The only code I've seen that
triggers this probably under GTK+ was doing some highly 
non-kosher things.

If there is legitimate code that manages to do this, perhaps
there is something in GTK+ that needs to be fixed. (GTK+,
should probably refuse to set a maximum size hints of 0 x 0 in any
case, since X windows are constrained to have non-zero
dimensions)
