bug#1023: Can't resize on Mac OS

[Ken Harris]

Resizing of the Emacs window (frame?  the windowing-system-level
thing) doesn't work right:

(a) If I click the Zoom (+) button in the window's titlebar, the
window becomes unresizeable: dragging the corner no longer has an
effect, until I click the Zoom button again.

(b) When I switch from a large external display to my laptop's
display, I have less screen area, but unlike all my other apps, the
Emacs window doesn't shrink itself to fit on my display.

(c) New windows inherit this broken behavior (i.e., can't be resized),
so I can't just C-x 5 2 to fix it.  The new frame is 80x38 chars, and
can't be resized.  It can only be Zoomed, which makes it 7 lines
taller, but still can't be resized.

The upshot of these is that if I switch displays when Emacs is
running, its session gets kind of screwed.  I can either have a window
that's way too tall (can't see the modeline/minibuffer), or (if I Zoom
the window) I have a window that's too narrow (and can't be resized to
be wider).

I'm using a MacBook (Intel Core 2 Duo) with Mac OS X 10.5.4, though
I've been seeing this behavior on this machine for a while (likely
even on 10.4 ... can't remember for sure).

Thanks!
