Yes, I think that's the easiest way to offer a reasonable behavior.

We do not *want* to restore the sizes, we *must* restore the sizes.
Otherwise, if I have a frame with lots & lots of tiny windows and I
try to restore it in a default-sized frame, restoring will fail for
lack of space or for trying to bypass the safe minimum width/height.
And that's exactly the kind of frame I would be pretty pissed off to
have to rebuild by hand because s&r failed...

As I said in a previous message, "some cases" = "all cases" for me. If
people wants to allow that to be customizable, fine, we can add such
an option.
