   If the parent is doing the resize it should return Done.  If it isn't
   it should return Yes.  If that doesn't work then something is wrong.

Well, reading the code for Xt/Geometry.c, it appears that returning
Done would not cause XConfigureWindow to be executed. I believe that
Yes makes the most sense here, with the parents geometry_manager making
the actual change to the child's core part.

Thanks again for your pointers.
