xmonad munges dialogs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When you move a workspace containing a floating dialog from one screen to 
another the dialog changes size.

For some reason when the dialog appears on different screen than the app was 
last show it is (at least sometimes) munged as well.

Note that the dialog has an application specified size at the start so I don't 
see any reason to resize it later.

Are your two screens different resolutions?  I've had that issue and just lived 
with it; from memory it's because XMonad proportinally resizes all windows when 
switching screens.

Yes, the two screens are different size.

And it's a bug to resize floated dialogs like this. it is not predictable nor 
correct nor anything desirable, it's just a bug.

I have one screen in portrait mode and the other one in landscape mode and this 
problem is amplified. 

For example: If I have a 400x200 floated window and move the workspace from the 
landscape screen to the portrait screen the floated window gets resized to 
200x400. Even fixed size dialogs are resized, making them look wrong: desura 
login box, XFCE's alt+f2 run menu, etc.

Any workarounds will be appreciated.
