My gut is saying this is a Sawfish bug, but I can't quote chapter and verse on
how a window manager is supposed to deal with size requests.  It works fine
under Metacity (though admittedly Metacity does have some workarounds for broken
programs, and I'm not positive this isn't one of them).

If you're interested in investigating window manager size requests, you might
take a look at cgoban (1, not 2, which is a completely different program).  The
game window will let you resize it taller than it is wide, but not shorter than
that.  Under Sawfish, it simply crashes if you make it shorter than it is wide.
 (Under Metacity, it doesn't let you make it that short, which is a neat effect.)

Or you could ask the Metacity guys.  They can probably tell you exactly what's
going on.
