Resizing the unresizable

It seems that the accessibility API makes it possible to resize
windows that are not normally supposed to be resizable.  If you get an
AXUIElementRef for a window, and then set a new value on
kAXSizeAttribute for it, the window resizes, regardless of whether the
window has a "grow" area.

For example, you can resize the System Preferences window, which is
not normally a resizable window.

I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but I'd appreciate any
comments on that point.
