Whenever I tried to do something like that - there were always
complaints from some ppl. There are times when such a request is
legitimate, for example to hide a window, without iconifying it.
I could add a database flag for MinSize/MaxSize to be able to override
what client sets in its hints. But in any case anything like that have
to be on per-client basis, not a generalized policy.
