Glynn,

The above changes seem to work fine.  Below is the HINTS output from
xprops ...

WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
                program specified size: 450 by 400
                program specified minimum size: 0 by 0
                program specified maximum size: 1280 by 1024

Maximising the window does seem to go a little bit larger than the
screen size.
