LayoutHints can help with that. http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout- LayoutHints.html
Maybe you could get LayoutHints to solve your problem with text editors, too, setting an X property on the editor window or something. I've googled around for a while now and cannot figure out how to set things like the minimum and maximum size hints for a window. Does such a utility exist?
Not in general, and I would expect applications to behave really badly if something altered its sizehints without its knowledge or consent. (Heck, how many applications misbehave when a window manager ignores their size hints and tells them so, as permitted by ICCCM?) MIT has a tool "nawm" which *might* be able to do this kind of thing; I have had difficulty tracking it down though. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
