#1240 winWm.test failure

[Vince Darley]

There is one test failure in winWm.test on Windows.

winWm.test

==== winWm-5.1 UpdateGeometryInfo: menu
resizing FAILED
==== Contents of test case:

set result {}
toplevel .t
frame .t.f -width 150 -height 50 -bg red

.t.m add command -label foo

.t.m add command -label "thisisreallylong"
.t.m add command -label "thisisreallylong"

This discrepancy is quite large, and seems to be due to
the native menu bar wrapping around onto a second
row, and this, for some reason causes the window to
shrink. All very odd.

I assume that this test is not valid for Windows native
menus because they wrap the menubar. Perhaps we can add a
unixOnly constraint to this one?

The relevant code in tkWinWm.c:5683 suggests that we are
making attempts to keep resizing the window until we can get
the requested size.
This is evidently no longer working but suggests to me that
this is _not_ an invalid test but that something has changed
in Windows window management at some point.

Assigning to patthoyts since he seems to know what's going on here.
