Hmm, you got a point here. If I think about it, there could be a js-opened 
window *without* a resizeable frame and *without* scrollbars. In this case 
blocking window.resizeXX could make content inaccessible. However, konqueror 
ignores the resizeable=no option, so the breakage becomes an annoyance at 
worst.

Well, but I'm seeing now why David and you are so keen about having this also 
configurable per domain :-)
