The context is the following.  Using Linux Mint 18 KDE, Mixbus32C has
some problem resizing plugin Windows *upwards* from their original
display size.  Thgis was largely fixed concerning the u-he plugins in
the recent release, although this seems to be a specific fix concerning
a specific problem with the native u-he plugins.

Using Melda Production plugins with a linvst bridge (wine-staging) the
resizing does not work at all.  and the thing is, the Melda plugins are
resizing a lot, depending on options chosen.  That makes them of very
limited use in such a context.

Now if I compare with Bitwig on the same system, Bitwig does not resize
either.  But, minimizing the plugin and bringing it back will display
the plugin with the new size.  So it becomes a matter of minimizing and
redisplaying a plugin to get the new size it has changed to.  Which is
not seamless, but it's also not that much of an overhead.

Hence, if it was posible for Ardour/Mixbus32C to query the size a
plugin wants (most probably like it does at first launch since after
all Mixbus32C has to know what size of a plugin window to display) when
brining back the plugin after being minimized, it would solve the
problem.

Thus my question.
