IgnoreMinimumSizeHints

If a client has the IgnoreMinimumSizeHints flag set then the minimum size hints of the window are ignored.

If the ResizeHints functionality is enabled or the client has the RespectSizeHints flag set, then size hints for tiled resizals are respected.

The use case for the IgnoreMinimumSizeHints flag is that if the window specifies a minimum size that is larger than that of the tiled area allocated to it then the window will overlap other tiled windows. This has to do with that the tiled areas are divided evenly as opposed to adapting the tiled size based on the maximum or minimum size of each window.
