FWIW, the mwm window manager documentation lists an "Appearance and
Behavior Resource" named "maximumMaximumSize" which
"Specifies the maximum size of a client window (as set by the user
or client). Takes a value of widthxheight (e.g.,1024x1024) where
width and eight are in pixels. The default is twice the screen
width and height."
Now, the mwm available to run under Cygwin/XFree86 is the Lesstif version,
which is supposed to be "functionally equivalent", but *does* differ in
many areas from the official Motif version. The distributed app-defaults
file lists this resource in a section commented as:
!!
!! not tracked yet. Some are implemented, but you can't change the
default
!! behavior.
!!
On the other hand, this app-defaults shows a version control tag of:
!! $Id: Mwm.ad,v 1.2 2001/10/27 18:32:58 amai Exp $
BTW, this resource can be set in your .Xdefaults file (as well as a number
of other places) as:
Mwm*maximumMaximumSize: 1024x1024
I have not tried this feature of mwm.
Good luck.

Are there any options I can put in the .Xresources file which will constrain
the windows within the screen?
JS.
