Because it leaves a gap to its right all the way to the corner? I use that to 
fit some other floating windows like SysBar/2. It's like having a second 
XCenter with all the stuff that the XCenter doesn't have.

I confirm it is. It looks a bit strange now but you can't always get what you 
want.

The window menu (clicking the icon on the upper left corner) has 'Size' grayed 
out for these, so there must be a mark for it somewhere. No idea how to query 
that programmatically, though.

Thank you,
