New issue 443 by elias.ku... at gmail.com: XMonad should guard against  
resizing window dimensions to 0
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=443

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Take a program such as gnome-terminal, xterm or emacs
2. Use mod-right resizing to make the window as close to 0x0 size as  
possible.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The windows should remain at some minimum size. Instead, at least one of  
the dimensions seems to go to 0 and "undefined behaviour" occurs. With  
xterm, the terminal seems to become infinitely wide or infinitely tall.  
With emacs and gnome-terminal, the programs simply crash. Both of the  
programs can incidentally have multiple windows for the same process so  
this would just "mysteriously" make all of them disappear.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
XMonad 0.9 in Ubuntu 10.10.

Are you using an xmonad.hs?  Please attach it and the output of "xmonad
--recompile".
This is reproducible for me without any customisations.

Please provide any additional information below.
