Sadly, after using that patch for some time, I found that it slows down xmonad
considerably, as rxvt-unicode updates size hints several times on every size
change (for no reason at all, the hints stay the same). I solved that issue by
adding
    whenX (runQuery (className =? "MPlayer") w) $ refresh

A cleaner solution might be caching the hints using ExtensibleState and
calling refresh only if they change. What do you think?
