Geometry requests like this not only go to the paned window. The paned
window itself must check with its parent whether resizing the whole
paned window is OK. In this case, you probably need to set
XmNallowShellResize of the nearest shell ancestor to True. There may
even be other manager widgets in the hierarchy that can prevent resizing.
