Some investigation found that constrain_partially_onscreen has a bug that will resize the window and shrink it further if it's already thin and near the screen edge.  Since constrain_partially_onscreen takes precedence over size constraints, this resulted in a window with width <= 0 and caused application crashes.  Patch to fix it is pretty simple, though.

	Fix constraints bug causing negative width windows and crashes.
	#336651

	* src/constraints.c (constrain_partially_onscreen): Don't
	accidentally shove & resize the window by requiring more pixels to
	be onscreen than the size of the window.
