why bother? define max height or width to be 0x7fff in the direction you don't
care about. in X the max size of a window is 0xffff, BUT you can only access
pixel co-ords for drawing up to 0x7ffff. so by doing this you effectively just
say "the window can be as big as the area i can ever sensibly draw to". to stop
resizing in one direction set the min and max for hat axis to the same. I don't
see the point of adding more hints here as it's quite possible to do given even
basic old-fashioned ICCCM.
