I don't think it is necessary.  Window is still usable, it is just
larger than what program expected, but program can use only part of
the window.  We can make lower limit to be 1x1.  Upper limit is also
arificial,  from Xlib point of view, anything up to 32767x32767 should
be safe, if X server can create windows of that size.
