I just switched from R3 to R4 Xt and noticed the following bug
(or undocumented misfeature).

When I set XtNminHeight and XtNminWidth on a topLevelShellWidget,
the default geometry gets all messed up.
The window somes up much bigger than it is set in the .Xdefaults file.
The min_height and min_width, however, still work, since the window
manager recognizes the hints and won't let me resize the window to be
bigger than XtNmaxHeight,width, or smaller than XtNminHeight,width.

If I comment out the SetValues calls for XtNminWidth and XtNminHeight, the windwo
comes up to be the right sizes, those specified in the .Xdefaults file.

I am using R4 twm by the way.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
