Now that I can compile and test, here how it works.
- ptMaxSize is the maximum size of the window when you press the 
maximize button. In practice, when you maximzed a window, it takes the 
min between ptMaxSize, ptMaxTrackSize, and the Windows desktop (at least 
on my single monitor machine) .
- ptMaxTrackSize is the maximum size of the window when dragging a 
border (or using the size in the system menu).

Also, I don't think we want a bigger window than what Windows set (do we 
wan't the window to be bigger than the Windows (virtual) desktop?)
So I suggest that:
	ptMaxSize = min (ptMaxSize, size of visual)
	ptMaxTrackSize = min (ptMaxTrackSize , size of visual)
