If its Netscape you don't want resized, the above suggestion isn't
going to help unless you are using the source from Mozilla.org and
make your own modifications. The modifications would consist of
setting the window hints with a maximum and minimum window size which
fvwm will honor.
If you don't want Netscape resized, then the simplest course of action
would be to not resize it. But I suspect that you are after something
else.
Fvwm will let you remove the window frames and the title bar, but if
you have the command "Resize" bound to a button or a key, you will
still be able to resize the window. If you don't want ANY window to
be resized, don't have any menu, key or button bound to the resize
command, and don't allow any of the fvwm modules to be started that
would let an fvwm command to be entered.
I'm not aware of any way you can change a windows size hints without
changing the program that creates the window.
