There is a minimum size field in the window definition. Zero means
that RiscOS should calculate the value from the shape of the
scrollbars, the size of title bar needed to display the entire title,
and the number of other icons around the window edge. If you set it to
some other sensible value ("Work area" menu option under !FormEd) then
the title bar will not be used to limit the window's minimum size.

This may be in the "little known fact" category, but it's in the
RiscOS2 PRMs!
