No. =) It should probably not use the maximum size if it's smaller than
minimum size. But I guess that setting maximum size to 0 by 0 means
something special. Anyone that knows what or should I browse through the
standards?

Anyhow, here's a patch (attached) that might fix it. Copy
tinywinfix.patch to OroboROX/src/src and go there and write "patch <
tinywinfix.patch" in a shell (or the ROX-Filers shell-minibuffer), then
right-click on the OroboROX icon and choose "Compile". 

When it's finished, double-click OroboROX and answer "Execute" on the
ROX-Session dialogue to make it restart. (Assuming you have the new
ROX-Session, Otherwise type "killall OroboROX" in a shell, or log out
and in again...)

Please report if it fixed the problem! And all you other people who had
problems with tiny windows, please try this out too...
