Unexpected behavior in Linux

I would say the problem is deeper.
Displaying a pop up when resizing the window is not very friendly.
It is very likely that there's a way to stop the resizing at some size so you 
can't resize it anymore, even if you try. The same way some windows just 
can't be made smaller. But respecting all this, I believe, depends on the 
Window Manager (and not on the kernel, like Linux, neither on the operating 
system, like Solaris).
If there are no other posibilities, I'd say that as soon as the window was 
resized over certain size, resize it back.
