Do an xprop on your window:

WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
                program specified minimum size: 38 by -130
                program specified maximum size: 65298 by 65289
                program specified resize increment: 25 by 29
                program specified base size: 38 by -130
                window gravity: NorthWest

See the "-130" as base size and min size ? It's now xfwm4 that sets
that.
