I believe that the minimums set by fldigi are hints, which xmonad 
ignores (as it is a tiling window manager).

I reported it privately to W1HKJ, who maintains it's not a bug in fldigi 
(that it's prefectly acceptable if fldigi crashes in that scenario).

Yes.

I will try to get a sid system set up to test with the version there. 
My amateur radio machine currently is not running sid just yet.
