     * or <code>setBounds</code> call is made with width and height
     * less than specified by <code>setMinimumSize</code> window
     * will by automatically enlarged to minimumSize value.
     * Setting the minimum size to <code>null</code> restores
     * the default behavior.
     * <p>
     * Resizing operation may be restricted if user tries
     * to resize window below the <code>minimumSize</code> value.

SUGGESTED FIX

On Win32 window's minimum size can be enforced using WM_GETMINMAXINFO message,
On XWin uning normal window's hints (setNormalHints function).

1. Need to add new method to WindowPeer interface:
void updateMinimumSize();
NB! This method has no agruments.
When this method is called peer should request minimum size from tagret
(target.getMinimumSize()) and return this value on subsequent WM_GETMINMAXINFO calls or modify window's hints.

2. Need to modify reshaping in window to supress setting size of window less than minimumSize. This would remove flicker on WM's that allow setting window size of window less than minimumSize.

3. Need to override Window.setMinimumSize(...) that should:
- modify minimumSize (i.e. invoke superclass)
- enlarge window if it's less than minimumSize
- invoke peer's updateMinimumSize
