Unfortunately, this is not so simple. Constraining the dimensions of a window requires some cooperation between the application and the window manager. Under X, you cannot simply tell the WM that some fixed sizes should be allowed for your window but not some others. All non-broken window managers accept the following XSizeHints: - minimum width and height - maximum width and height - size increment for width and height - minimum aspect ratio - maximum aspect ratio That's it. You cannot specify a list of allowed sizes. You could try to get close to that by specifying a size increment that is a multiple of the size of the icons and by setting a minimum value for the width of the window. But that would not help: if you set the minimum width to 30 pixels or so, then the menu is not usable. If you set the minimum width to something larger, then the menu may be usable but you are preventing some users from using their favorite layout (it is very useful to have a tall and narrow toolbox on the edge of the screeen). -Raphael
