The difference is when RP gets a ConfigureRequest it doesn't grant the
request, instead it insists that the window stay maximized. The
problem with this was that some apps with resize increment hints would
get caught in an infinite resize loop. So I changed it so RP grants
the configure request and then immediately after it maximizes the
window again. This seems to work flawlessly with every app I can
install on my machine...but VMWare for whatever reason doesn't like
it. The best thing would be to look at their source and...oh,
right...nevermind :(
