Remember that in terms of resizing and moving that can only happen
*after* the fact, due to the fact the pointer is grabbed and nothing
is updated until after the operation has completed.  The struts limit
isn't a brick wall for things not to move around, it's just a hint ---
so, yes, whilst you can do what you want, the effect might seem a
little odd.

That's because that specific set of information isn't broadcast to all
modules or sent down in Send_ConfigInfo.

If you're *really* desperate, put each value of the EwmhBaseStruts
options into the environment via SetEnv.
