AFAIK the form size and its content is not completely under control of the
LCL. So only the most simplest forms can be made fixed size. As the IDE
should run on half implemented and buggy widgetsets, I recommend to limit
the user only for technical reasons (e.g. not because 'a user can make my
program look ugly').
Of course we could add an option for the MessageDlg, so that applications
can limit the user.
