Hi,

for a window that has an increment hint, such as xterm, behaviour
differs when the window is first opened or moved to a different screen
versus when the window asks to be resized.

In the first case, the window size is reduced to be evenly divisible by
the size increment; in the latter, it is not. Curiously though, moving a
window back to its original screen restores the pixel size it had there.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open xterm. The window does not fully cover the frame (unless the
   resolution happens to be divisible by 6x13.
2. Use Ctrl-RMB to open the font menu; select a different font. The
   window now extends to the frame border
3. Switch back to the "Default" font. The window still fills the entire
   frame.
4. Use Ctrl-T minus to hide the window, go to another screen, fetch the
   window there. The window's size is now a multiple of the size
   increment again.
5. Hide the window again, move it back to the first screen. The window
   now spans the entire frame.

It would be great if there was consistent, configurable behaviour here;
ideally, the window would always be resized to follow the size hints (to
avoid confusing broken applications, which xterm gladly is not), with
the option to somehow still not have the background shine through in the
area not covered by the window.
