Hmm...I'm not using hg at all...

Well...is the client informed somehow that its requests are ignored?
And the problem also affects floating mode sometimes:
a) 1) start xpdf in stacked column
   2) xpdf uses only a part of the client area for drawing and controls
   3) move focus away and back to redraw xpdf
   4) xpdf uses only a part of the client area for drawing, but full
      area for the controls
   5) toggle xpdf to float
   6) xpdf still uses only a part of the darwing area
   7) resize xpdf
   8) problem persists
b) 1) start xpdf in stacked column
   2) xpdf uses only a part of the client area for drawing and controls
   3) immediately toggle xpdf to float
   4) xpdf correctly uses the full client area
   5) resizing works correctly
c) 1) create a rule to make xpdf floating
   2) start xpdf
   3) xpdf uses only a part of the drawing area, controls use full area
   (problem as in a)

Since making it floating using a rule doesn't help I'd think it's not
a problem of ignored configure requests... The question is, however,
why does it work (almost) correctly in b?
