Some applications explicitly set the PMaxSize WM hint to something
ridiculous like MAX_INT (either some people are misinterpreting the
purpose of WM size hints, or there is something in one of the mainstream 
WMs that makes them do this). I noticed this in all mozilla apps and the 
latest blender release.

Dtwm restricts the maximum window size to 2*display resolution, unless
the maximumMaximumSize resource is set. Eventually dtwm should ignore
the PMaxSize hint, if it's larger than the screen.

There are still a bunch of places, dtfile and dtsession for sure, where
dialog positions, those with XmDIALOG_SYSTEM_MODAL in particular, are
calculated from XDisplayWidth. Also, the xineramaPreferredScreen
resource should be taken into account when forcing window coordinates.
