I should clarify: Using window-state-change-functions works fine!

I meant it is not quite as good as window-size-change-functions because
a function in windows-state-change-functions is also called in
situations where I don't need it to be called (e.g. after a M-x
other-window command, or when the window loses focus).  So it is a small
improvement to use window-size-change-functions.
