The problem occurs because the window requests a size that is not a 
multiple of its size increment. Xfwm4 tries to solve this situation by 
setting a new size, that does obey this restriction. Unfortunately, this 
seems to cause a race condition with the application.

Also, it seems the developers of bmpx don't like Oliviers solution, 
which is to make the window request a size that does fit the size 
increment constraint.

Hopefully this can be resolved eventually.
