FVWM: Resizing hints ignored after manual resizes

Hi all,

Below is a trivial Perl/Tk app that illustrates a difficulty I am
having with FVWM.

The app automatically resizes itself when you click on the Grow &
Shrink buttons.

However, if I manually resize the app (by click-drag-release'ing
on the border) the app is no longer able to resize itself.

How can I force FVWM to let the app resize itself?

Thanks for any help/pointers,

SCoTT. :)
