You assumed incorrectly ;-)

The only way i've been able to make this work is to fix the whole
window, via an XSetWMNormalHints() call to the top.  I do this with
dialog boxes so people don't monkey with them.  The source seems to be
okay (1.0A) but I bet there's something in the R3 Intrinsics that
prevents this from working.
