Uhm as I said I am not an expert, so can you explain how can app resize
itself without first requesting XServer and therefore WM? I thought that
this isn't possible for windows without override-redirect.
BTW, that game of mine runs under wine and I found out that wine has all
kind of problems with WMs and focus and ICCCM compliance (and I believe it's
not easy stuff to get right), so this may very well be the case.
