+This fixes a couple of problems in the setting of the WM_NORMAL_HINTS
+window manager property.
+
+The flags were set indicating that the width, height, x, and y fields
+were valid, but these fields in fact contained garbage.  Since the
+fields are obsolete now (starting with X11R5), I simply removed the
+code that set the corresponding flags.
+
+Also, the base_width, base_height, width_inc, and height_inc fields
+were not set.  This caused the window manager to display incorrect
+values for window size while resizing it.
+
+I have sent this patch to DEC SRC.
