Description:
After latest upgrade to roxterm 2.0.1, the newly opened windows resize automatically to a ridiculously small size. If I resize them to an acceptable geometry, they tend to shrink by themselves, when I do Alt-Tab to leave window or when a close a tab and there is one or two remaining.

I can reproduce this problem with gnome-terminal.

xprop tells me this (and 360x131 is the size of the shrunk terminal)

WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
program specified minimum size: 360 by 131
program specified resize increment: 8 by 15
program specified base size: 28 by 61
window gravity: NorthWest


Additional info:
* roxterm 2.0.1-2
* xfwm4 4.8.1-1

Steps to reproduce:
Description:
* open a xfce4 session
* open a vte+gtk3-based terminal (roxterm, gnome-terminal)
* see it shrink on opening, on Alt-Tabbing, on closing tabs

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

An upstream bug exists and roxterm developer seems to know about it:

The patch is included in xfwm4 4.8.2 and behaviour looks ok.
