I looked over the changeset and found one part which looks like the culprit to me:

--- a/client.c Thu Mar 01 16:37:00 2007 -0500
+++ b/client.c Fri Mar 02 03:13:32 2007 -0500
@@ -35,23 +34,16 @@ create_client(Window w, XWindowAttribute
         c->border = wa->border_width;
         c->rect.width = wa->width;
         c->rect.height = wa->height;
+
         c->proto = win_proto(c->win);
- update_client_name(c);
-
- c->fixedsize = False;
- XGetTransientForHint(blz.dpy, c->win, &c->trans);
- if(!XGetWMNormalHints(blz.dpy, c->win, &c->size, &msize) || !c->size.flags)
- c->size.flags = PSize;
- if(c->size.flags & PMinSize && c->size.flags & PMaxSize
- && c->size.min_width == c->size.max_width
- && c->size.min_height == c->size.max_height)
- c->fixedsize = True;
- if(c->rect.width == screen->rect.width
- && c->rect.height == screen->rect.height)
- c->fullscreen = True;

But i am not familiar with the codebase so this is just a guess.
Tomorrow is an official holiday in Germany, so maybe i find the time
to catch up on this.

Best wishes
Andre
