FWIW metacity does resize the window to the closest valid size,
because the way it's implemented is that the size hints impose a
constraint and the invariant is imposed that the constraint is never
violated, but I don't think that breaks anything (since if the client
immediately sends a configure request things will end up right in the
end).

I don't understand doubling window size if size_inc goes 5->10, I
would never have expected that behavior.
