One thing I've noticed is that twm does not allow resizing a window to
a smaller size until after you've stretched the resize box to larger
than the current size.

I'm not sure I'd call this a feature, as it makes life very difficult
if, say, the window you have is as large as the screen and you have
twm set up to keep windows on the screen.  It then becomes impossible
to shrink the window.

Does anyone know if the new twm correctly handles window size
suggestions?  The old one would always use the maximum size field
instead of the preferred size field and would happily resize windows
to both larger and smaller than the size boundaries specified by the
program.
