With icewm-lite debian package ( version 1.2.13+CVS20040510-1 ) I don't
have any problems. The size is also correct screen size when in fs.
I know there were some problems with EWMH and IceWM but as far as i can
tell they are fixed by now.

Anyway, it may be fixed soon and maybe even without size hint after all
as I'm reworking Fabian's fullscreen method atm. There are still some
minor issues but I expect it to be working soon.
