GTK3 seamless server + win32 GTK3 client started with --desktop-scaling=0.3.
Maximizing an xterm triggers problems similar to #2214, then the server becomes unresponsive and the client window keeps moving down the screen if you try to resize it!
It's a new resize storm:

We can't handle that many changes to the WM_NORMAL_HINTS, so r22113 ignores the unused "size" attribute so we don't end up in a loop by re-sending the size-constraints back to the client for every resize.
The server was unresponsive because of the amount of events it had to process, it would eventually come back after getting through its backlog. As for the client, the problem is gone because we don't end up doing weird things with the geometry - though I suspect there may still be a bug in there.
