I'm using the Athena Widget Set (R4) and I'd like to be able to tell the window
manager to not resize my application below a certain minimum dimension.  I've
tried setting the application shell resources (XtNminWidth, XtNminHeight), but
no matter what their values I am always able to resize the window to any
width and height.  I've also tried using the XSetNormalHints routine (even in
conjunction with setting the above-mentioned resources) but to no avail.  I'd
settle for iconification or some sort of warning message when an "illegal" 
resize attempt is made.  Anyone have any hints :-) for me?  Thanks.

The window manager is I'm using is TWM.
